Its a most requested recipe from my friends! This is what I prepare during Maha Shivratri and Navaratri fasting days. This is one of my hubby’s all time favorites!
Simple Sabudana(Tapioca pearl) Khichadi
Ingredients:
- 2 cup Sabudana (Tapico pearls)
- 1 cup roasted Peanut powder
- 1 small-med chopped Potato (optional)
- 2TBP Olive oil
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1tbsp fresh grated ginger
- 4-5 chopped green Chillies or as per taste
- Salt to taste
- 2tbsp Lemon juice, freshly squeezed!
- Few sprigs of Curry leaves and handful chopped Cilantro to garnish
Directions:
- Soak Sabudana(large pearls which we can buy in any indian store) for 15-20 minutes in cold water. After 20 min drain all the water and keep aside for 4-6hrs. Generally I do this process at night if I’m planning prepare khichadi in the morning.
- Roast the Peanuts and grind as coarse powder.
- Take a big frying pan and add oil.
- When oil hot, add cumin seeds, graated fresh ginger, chillies,curry leaves, potatos and lilttle bit salt.
- cover the lid and let it cook for 5m in low flame.
- Now add sabudana and give it a quick toss then add peanut powder, salt.
- Finally add cilientro, lemon juice, give a quick toss again. Serve hot!
- Tip: Its easy to make if you get good quality Sabudana! Sometime after soaking 6-7 hrs also you can feel that sabudana’s are still hard. That time sprikle more water and wait agin for 30m before you prepare.
