Recipe - Sabudana Khichdi


Growing up, I was previliged to having this sinful 'fasting' food item on certain days of the week. Why? Duh...fasting days, remember?! :p

When I was living alone in Bangalore and learning to cook, this was one of the first dishes I tried my hand at - for both nostalgia and gluttony!

Here's the recipe for it:
1) Soak Sabudana (Tapioca) overnight. Use same water quantity as you would use for rice
2) Roast a handful of peanuts on a flat tawa. You may choose to make it more granulated by grinding in a mixer.
3) Finely chop 2 green chilis
4) Chop one potato
5) Heat a deep pan and use 2 table spoons of vegetable oil (dalda vanaspati). If not available you may also use ghee. It is the best option, but either oils will do. Fry the potato pieces.
6) When potatoes are brown, add the sabudana to the pan. Mix well.
7) Then add the peanuts and green chilis. Add salt to taste. Mix well again.
