Sabudana khichadi

 This is a snack I always had on the days when they fast. It can be breakfast or even serves as a full meal. Sabudana khichadi can be paired with salty lassi, plain yogurt or special rajagira aamti or danyachi aamti.


Ingredients:
Sabudana (Tapioca pearls – Indian style): 2 cups
Water c soak: 2 cups
Ground peanuts: 1 ½ cups
Salt to taste
Sugar to taste
Cilantro (coriander): 3-4 springs, finely chopped

For Tadaka:
Butter or Ghee (Clarified butter): 1 Table spoon
Green chili: 1 chopped
Curry leaves: few
Cumin Seeds: ½ Tea spoon
Whole peanuts: 1 Table spoon
Potato (chopped into 1cm cubes): 1



Procedure:
  1. Wash and soak Sabudana overnight. This is the most important step. After you wash the Sabudana, just add enough water to cover Sabudana completely. Next morning Sabudana should completely soak the water and each tapioca ball should be separate from other.
  2. Mix soaked Sabudana with peanut powder, salt and sugar.
  3. Tadaka: In a pan heat the Ghee, add Cumin seeds, chopped Green Chili, Curry leaves, whole Peanuts, Potato.
  4. Stir until potatoes are cooked.
  5. Add the Sabudana mixture.
  6. Stir for 5-7 minutes on high heat.
  7. Turn off the heat
  8. Garnish with chopped Cilantro and grated coconut(optional).
