Sabudana Khichdi

Having lived in Mumbai, I grew up eating this great dish. It is usually eaten during fast(upvas) but I can simply eat it any time of the day, any time of the year. It took me a long time to actually cook this the right way, but after 3 yrs of relentless trying and practicing, have finally managed to get it right :)


Ingredients -

  • Sabudana (Tapioca) - 1 cups
  • Boiled Potatoes - 1 (medium sized)
  • Chopped Coriander
  • Jeera
  • Roasted Peanut powder
  • Ginger - Chili paste
  • Sugar
  • Lemon juice
Method - 
  • The first thing I learnt after trying this recipe multiple times is, ensure you buy good quality Sabudana (look for bigger anf fuller grains - If you live in US, I like to buy the Laxmi brand sabudana)
  • Soak the sabudana for 20-30 mins in water. Then drain the water completely. Now take some water and sprinkle over the grains just so that all the grains are wet. Cover with a lid and keep it for 4 hrs. 
  • Roast some peanuts and grind it with 1/2 tbsp red chili powder to make a coarse powder.
  • Take a wok. Add oil + little ghee and heat it. Make sure it is on medium-low flame.
  • Add 1 tbsp Jeera seeds, once the seeds crackle add a tbsp of ginger - green chili paste
  • Cut the boiled potatoes into small pieces and add it in the wok. Mix it for 1-2 mins.
  • Add the sabudana and peanut powder
  • Add salt to taste, 1 tbsp sugar, lemon juice
  • Keep mixing it. Add 1 tbsp of ghee, then some chopped coriander. If you feel the grains seem a little dry, feel free to sprinkle some water.
  • Mix it 7-8 mins and its ready. Serve hot! Enjoy!!!!
