Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sabudana
- 1 cup Water for soaking
- 1 small Potato
- 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 5-6 Curry Leaves
- ½ teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- ¼ cup Peanuts
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 2-3 Green Chili
- Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Red Chili Powder or as needed
- 2 tablespoon Coconut Powder
- 1 handful Cilantro/Mint chopped
- ½ Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Rinse Sabundana in the water a couple of times until the water runs out clear. Sabudana has starch in them so rinsing with water will get rid of the starch.
- Soak in water overnight or for at least 5-6 hours. The longer you soak, Sabundana will be softer and will cook nicely.(Note: When soaking, always use 1:1 proportion of water and sabudana).
- After soaking overnight, drain excess liquid from Sabudana using a colander and transfer in a bowl.
- Heat oil in the skillet. Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
- Then add potatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes till potatoes are golden in color. Add raw peanuts and cook for another 2-3 minutes.(If you are going to add roasted peanuts, then skip this step).
- Mix chopped green chilies, curry leaves and cook for 1 more minute.
- Transfer drained Sabudana to the skillet. Add Salt & Red Chili Powder in the skillet and mix. Cook Sabudana for 2-3 minutes until Sabudana turns translucent.
- Remove from heat and garnish with Grated Coconut, Cilantro & Mint and sprinkle some Lemon Juice. You can add roasted peanuts at this step if not using raw peanuts.

Notes
You can use Raw Peanuts or Roasted Peanuts in the dish. roasted peanuts give the crunch to the recipe and can be added at the last step.
When adding Raw Peanuts, you need to cook them for 2-3 minutes until they change color. I usually cook them after potatoes are fried in the same skillet.
You can add Cilantro & Mint Leaves to garnish. This will make Sabudana Khichdi very aromatic.
You can add Lemon Juice before serving.
You serve Sabudana Khichdi with Yogurt and Chai/Tea.
