Sabudana Khichdi Recipe

Ingredients:

2 cup sago
4 tablespoon coconut
5 tablespoon ghee
1 bunch curry leaves
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
sendha namak as required
2 medium potato
4 green chilli
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup roasted peanuts
1 bunch coriander leaves
2 cup water

Recipe :

Step 1 Soak sabudana for 4-5 hours and chop the veggies

Wash the sabudana in running water and soak in 2 cups of water for 4 hours. Make sure that the soaked sabudana turns moist and soft. If not, then, soak it for another two hours else the sabudana will remain uncooked in the khichdi. Next, wash the green chillies and coriander leaves in running water, and finely chop them. Now, peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes in another bowl. Then grind the peanuts in a grinder and keep all these things aside until required.
Step 2 Saute and stir well to get that perfect taste

Place a deep bottomed pan on medium flame and heat ghee. When ghee is melted, add curry leaves in it along with some cumin seeds and chopped green chillies. Sauté for a few seconds and add potato cubes to the pan. Stir to mix with the spices and then cook till the potatoes turn soft on medium to low flame. Once the potatoes are soft enough, add soaked sabudana or sago along with grated coconut and ground peanuts. Mix all the ingredients well and sauté for 4-5 minutes.
Step 3 Garnish with lime juice and coriander leaves

Finally, sprinkle a little water in the pan (just a little bit so that the sabudana doesn't turn sticky and squishy) with a pinch of rock salt or sendha namak and mix well. Once done, turn off the flame and garnish with lime juice and chopped coriander leaves.

Tips :

If you want a clump free sabudana khichdi, soak the sabudana overnight or at least 4-6 hours & rinse before soaking.
Do not soak the sabudana in a lot of water. Always maintain 1:1 ratio between sabudana and water.
Make sure the sabudana are completely dry before hitting the pan.
Do not stir and cook the sabudana for too long after adding to the pan or they will turn into mush.
