Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sabudana (tapioca pearls)
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 1 medium, diced Potato
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste Salt
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Rinse the sabudana under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a large bowl, combine the rinsed sabudana with 1 cup of water and let it soak for at least 3 hours or until soft and the pearls can be easily mashed between your fingers. Drain any excess water if necessary.
While the sabudana is soaking, dry roast the peanuts in a pan until they are lightly browned and aromatic. Let them cool, then crush them coarsely with a mortar and pestle or a blender.
Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add curry leaves and green chili to the pan and sauté for a minute.
Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the turmeric powder and salt.
Add soaked sabudana and crushed peanuts to the pan. Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring gently to avoid sticking, until the sabudana becomes translucent.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.
