HOW TO ROAST PEANUTS:

  • Roast the peanuts for 7-8 minutes on a medium to slow flame stirring in between.
  • Switch off the flame once the peanuts are roasted evenly.
  • Remove it on a plate and let it cool for 5 minutes. Now remove the outer skin and coarsely grind the peanuts in a mini hand grinder as shown in the picture.

HOW TO START COOKING SABUDANA KHICHDI:

  • Wash Sabudana, drain the water and add around 3/4 a cup of water little more than the quantity of Sabudana and soak it overnight or 3-4 hours will also do.
  • Peel potato skin and dice them into small chunks.
  • Heat a broad non-stick vessel and add oil and ghee in it.
  • Once it is hot add cumin seeds (jeera) in it.
  • Let is crackle for 10-15 seconds and now add curry leaves. After 5 seconds add potato chunks in it and mix it well.
  • Add little salt now so that it mixes well in the potatoes.

FINAL STEP OF PREPARING SABUDANA KHICHDI:

  • Once the potatoes mix well, add soaked Sabudana, coarsely crushed peanuts, salt as per taste, sugar (optional), lemon juice, pepper powder and mix everything well.
  • Keep stirring in between so that the khichdi does not stick to the pan.
  • Let it cook for 5-7 minutes on a slow flame. Once cooked properly switch off the flame.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve it hot with peanut yogurt raita, stir-fry capsicum, or cucumber raita.
