Maharashtrian Vrat-Style Tapioca Pearl Khichdi

सामग्री

विधि

1. Wash sabudana until the water runs clear, then soak overnight (or minimum 5 hours) in just enough water to cover the pearls. Drain fully before use.
2. Check the soaked sabudana is soft and separates easily between your fingers — if not, it needs more soak time, not more cooking.
3. Heat ghee in a pan. Add cumin, curry leaves, hing and green chilli, let them sizzle.
4. Add the diced potato, cover and cook on low heat 5-6 minutes until fully soft.
5. Add the drained sabudana and crushed peanuts. Mix gently on low heat for 4-5 minutes until the pearls turn translucent — do not overcook or it turns gluey.
6. Finish with lemon juice and rock salt, mix and serve immediately.
