SABUDHANA KHICHDI

 

Sabudhana/Tapioca 1 cup
Roasted peanut powder 1/2 cup
Potato 1 medium sized
Salt to taste
Cumin seeds 1 tsp
Green chillies 3-4
Curry leaves 1 sprig
Cilantro 1 tbsp
Oil 2 tbsp

 

• Wash the sabudhana under running water for 2-3 min until the starchy powder coating is rinsed off well
• Soak the sabudhana overnight or at least 3-4 hours with water less than the original quantity, if you are using 1 cup sabudhana then add 3/4 cup water to soak
• Chop the potato into small cubes and thinly slice the green chillies
• Add the roasted peanut powder to the soaked sabudhana, salt to taste and mix well
• Heat a wide pan and add oil, once the oil is hot enough add in cumin seeds, curry leaves, sliced green chillies, chopped potato and mix well

• Add a pinch of salt and cover it and cook it on low flame until potatoes are cooked and turned soft (Note: If you are using boiled potatoes skip this step, saute them for a minute or so and follow next step)
• Add in sabudhana mixture and reduce the heat to low-medium flame and mix well

• Cover the pan and cook it on low flame until sabudhana have turned opaque and cooked well, keep stirring intermittently, this may take around 5-10 min

• Finally add in chopped cilantro and serve hot along with yogurt
