Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Tapioca pearls (sabudana)
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 Green chilies, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Roasted peanuts, coarsely crushed
- 1 small Potato, diced
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 10 Curry leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak them in 2 cups of water for about 4 hours or until they double in size.
Drain the soaked tapioca pearls thoroughly and set them aside.
In a large pan, heat the ghee over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds to the ghee. Once they start to splutter, add the finely chopped green chilies and curry leaves, sauté for about 1 minute.
Add the diced potato and cook until it becomes tender, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the grated carrot and sauté for another 2 minutes.
Add the crushed roasted peanuts and mix well.
Now, add the drained tapioca pearls to the pan, sprinkle the salt, and mix gently to combine all the ingredients without mushing the pearls.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 3-5 minutes until the pearls become translucent.
Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice. Mix well.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
