Sabudana Khichdi.
Sago/tapioca pearls dish which is a common during Indian fasting festivals. However, this one is loved immensely by the husband for breakfast. Needless to say it’s a common breakfast at our place. This is made with minimal staple pantry ingredients and if pre-planned and soaked the previous night, this takes only under 15 mins in the morning to cook through.
Made with sago/tapioca pearls, roasted crushed peanuts, salt, cumin, red chilli powder, green chillies, sugar, lemon and curry leaves, this is a delicious and wonderful breakfast. We also sometimes add potatoes and fresh grated coconut to it. Garnished with a lot of chopped coriander leaves.
How to make it?
Rinse 1 cup sabudana/sago pearls once and then soak it for 2 mins. Rinse again a few times until the water runs clear. Soak in 1 cup water overnight. Trust me, soaking overnight really yields good results.
Mix salt to taste, 1 tsp red chilli powder, 2 tbsps crushed roasted peanuts in soaked sago pearls. Heat 2 tsps ghee and add 1 tsp cumin, 2-3 chopped green chillies and 4-5 curry leaves. Add sabudana and mix gently. Leave it covered on low flame for 5 mins. Add 1 tsp sugar and mix well. Cook uncovered on low flame for another 5 mins. Add 1/2 tsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves. Enjoy!!!
