Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sabudana (tapioca pearls)
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Peanuts
- 1 medium-sized Potato
- 2 tablespoons Ghee (or vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 small Green chili
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Place the sabudana in a colander and rinse under running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Soak the rinsed sabudana in 2 cups of water for about 5 hours or overnight.
Drain any excess water from the soaked sabudana and let it sit aside to fully drain.
Peel and cube the potato into small pieces.
Roast the peanuts in a pan on medium heat until they are golden brown. Allow them to cool, then coarsely grind them in a food processor or chop them finely.
Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté until they crackle.
Add the chopped green chili and cubed potatoes into the pan. Cook until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the drained sabudana to the pan along with salt and sugar. Stir gently on low flame to mix everything evenly and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the sabudana turns transparent, indicating they're cooked.
Stir in the roasted peanuts and lemon juice. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
