Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sabudana (tapioca pearls)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
- 0.25 cup raw peanuts
- 1 green chili, chopped
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the sabudana under cold water until the water runs clear. This is important to remove excess starch.
Transfer the rinsed sabudana to a bowl and add 1 cup of water, just enough to cover the pearls. Let it soak for about 4-6 hours or until the pearls are soft but not mushy. Drain any excess water if needed.
In a heavy pan or skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee or coconut oil over medium heat.
Add 1 teaspoon of whole cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add 1/4 cup of raw peanuts to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add 1 chopped green chili and 1 diced medium potato to the pan, and cook until the potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally.
Once the potatoes are cooked, lower the heat and add the soaked sabudana, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir the sabudana khichadi gently for about 5-7 minutes, ensuring the pearls do not stick together and are translucent.
Turn off the heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the khichadi. Mix well.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your Whole30-compliant Sabudana Khichadi!
