Sabudana Khichdi (Sago Pearls)



Sabudana Khichdi (Sago Pearls)
Recipe: Sanjay Hingorani

Soak 2 cups Sabudana / Tapioca Pearls (Sago) in 1 cup water overnight. In the morning drain the water in a colander. Leave it aside for a while. Use less water. I cup Sago and 1/2 cup water. This is very important as less water and the Sago will be rubber, more water and it will turn into mush.

2 Medium potatoes boiled and cubed small.
3 tbsp Peanuts toasted and chopped small.
1 tsp Cumin seeds
3-4 Green chillies chopped fine
2 Cloves Garlic chopped fine
5-7 Curry leaves
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish.
Salt to taste

Method:

Fry the cumin, garlic and green chillies. Add curry leaves. After a while add the potatoes. Mix well. Add the peanuts. Add the Sago pearls. Mix well but gently. We don't want to create a mush. Do not add water whatever happens. Done.

Garnish with fresh coriander.

Eat, Enjoy, Repeat !

Cheers
Sanjay
