About this Recipe
By: Complete Food Company
Sabudana Khichdi is a popular Maharashtrian breakfast snack. Soaked and drained sabudana (tapioca pearls) are tempered with cumin seeds, curry leaves, and green chillies. The best thing about this recipe is the way tapioca or sago pearls would gel into these fresh herbs. In other words, sabudana would absorb the flavours of fresh herbs to yield a fresh herbal taste to the spicy sago khichdi.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sabudana (tapioca pearls)
- 1/2 cup peanuts
- 1 cup coriander leaves
- 2 green chilies
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 potatoes – diced
- 2 green chilies – chopped
- 8-10 curry leaves
How to soak Sabudana?
Making this hariyali sabudana khichdi needs some planning as you have to soak the pearls a few hours ahead. Now the quantity of water to be added can be very tricky, especially if you are new to cooking with this ingredient.
The ratio of 1:1:: sabudana: water works the best. I use the same measuring cup to measure out both! I usually leave it to soak overnight in the refrigerator, as I mostly prepare this for breakfast.
