Sabudana Khichadi -3rd way
Hello Friends !
Sabudana = Tapioca pearls !
In my part of the world its still winter and I cant wait until spring arrive & move around in normal clothes without those heavy winter coats and jacket.
Sharing a recipe that you can prepare in a jiffy, no seriously , all you need is pre soaking of sabudana and this recipe will take just 10 -15 mins to put together.
Previously shared 2 separate ways to prepare them and this is the 3rd way.
* Often prepared during Fasting.
* A detox recipe.
* Lunch Box recipe.
* Kids or Beginners who are learning to cook, this is one of the recipe you can try .
The Ingredients are as short as the recipe is :- >>
+Sabudana - 1 Cup (While Buying look for white bright colored sabu)
+Green Chillies- 2-3 Or more Chopped( as per your taste)
+Pre Roasted Peanut Powder 1-2 Tbsp
+Salt 1/2 -1 Tsp
+Sugar 1 Tsp
+Red Chilli Powder 1/2 - 1 Tsp (As per your taste)
+Turmeric Powder 1/2-1 Tsp
+ Ghee 1 -2 Tbsp
+Coriander Leaves Few Chopped
+Cumin Seeds 1 Tsp
Method :-
1) Soak Sabudana either Overnight OR during the day 4-6 Hrs .
Reason :- All sabudana have different soaking duration.
Cooking TIP 1 :- To get SOFT sabudana !
This TIP is courtesy from my friend #RuanaShaikh :-
1) She says to add 1 tsp of yogurt while soaking sabudana O
2) you can sprinkle some MILK while cooking .
SOAKING TIP 2:-
While soaking sabudana , Make sure the water level should be 1 Inch above the sabudana and cover and let it rest .
2) Take a pan/ kadhai .
- Once hot enough ,add Ghee, Cumin Seeds -let it crackle .
-Chopped Green Chillies - Let it cook for 1-2 min.
-Then Add Turmeric powder,
Red Chilli Powder,
Salt and Sugar & combine everything well.
-And Put Off The Flame.
* The reason for putting off the flame at this moment is so that the Masala dont burn.
-NOW PUT ON THE FLAME.
-Add Sabudana & keep stirring continuously for 10 mins on medium -high flame until the sabudanas are cooked.
3) Then add ROASTED PEANUT POWDER & combine all well together.
COOKING TIP 3:-
Another Tip coming from my friend #BobbyMathew :-
Peanut Powder can be replaced with Almond Powder for the people who have allergy to peanuts.
And also can be prepared without adding any of those powder.
Without the peanut/ almond powder, it will be little sticking.
4) Add Chopped Coriander Leaves and combine all well together.
TADDDDAAA your Sabudana Khichadi is ready !
Serve it with a squeeze of lime juice OR sweet yogurt chutney or just like that...
Sweet Yogurt Recipe :-
Take 1 Tbsp of Yogurt + Any sweetner ( Honey, Sugar, Maple syrup or other.. ) Mix well !
