Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sabudana (Tapioca Pearls)
- 1/2 cup Roasted Peanuts
- 1 medium Potato
- 2 tablespoons Ghee (or oil for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 1-2 Green Chilies, chopped
- 8-10 Curry Leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt (or Rock Salt for fasting)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Coriander Leaves, chopped
Instructions
Rinse the sabudana under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Soak the sabudana in water just covering the pearls for 4-5 hours or overnight.
Drain any excess water from the soaked sabudana. Ensure they are soft by pressing between fingers. Transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Roughly crush the roasted peanuts in a food processor or using a pestle and mortar, and mix them with the sabudana.
Peel and dice the potato into small cubes.
Heat ghee in a pan on medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.
Add chopped green chilies and curry leaves. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potato cubes and sauté until they are cooked and slightly golden, approximately 7-8 minutes.
Add the sabudana-peanut mixture to the pan along with salt.
Mix gently and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sabudana is translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Adjust salt if necessary.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving warm.
