Sabudana (sago) khichdi

This is considered to be a dish during fasting days, so I don’t add onion, though I make another version with onion too.

Ingredients:

Sabudana         - 1 cup

Warter  - 1 cup

Potato  - 1, peel and cut into thin squares (optional)

Oil        - 2 tbsps

Mustard seeds  - 1/ tsp

Peanut powdered roughly   - 2 tbsps

Salt to taste

Sugar   - 2 tsps

Moth bean sprouts (optional)   - 2 tbsps

Coconut scrapings        - 2 tbsps

Method:

-      Take the sabudana in a pan, pour one cup water along the sides and over it. Leave it undisturbed overnight. In the morning, all the water will be absorbed and the sabudana will be bigger in size.

-         Heat oil in  a pan, add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add the potato pieces and let them cook, stirring in between.

-         Add the sprouts and let it cook for a while.

-         Now add the soaked sabudana ,salt, sugar, and peanut powder. Stir. Cover and cook for 3 minutes.

-         Add the coconut scrapings, mix and serve.
