Ingredients
Instructions
- I used a standard measuring cup and took 2 cups of Sabudana (1 cup=100g) to which I added 1 cup of water. Don’t add excess water to the Sabudana. It’s going to turn out sticky
- Cover the bowl and let the Sabudana soak for four hours
- The Sabudana balls will absorb the water and puff up. The pearls are going to be nice and soft but not sticky
- An alternative way to soak 2 cups of Sabudana is to thoroughly rinse the pearls two-three times with water and then add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water. Cover and let this soak for four hours.
- For this preparation, we will use peeled and roasted peanuts.
- If you’re using peanuts that are not peeled or roasted then first set a pan on medium/high heat and dry roast the peanuts for 4-5 minutes
- You will find that the peanuts turn aromatic and the peels start to loosen
- Cool down the peanuts and rub the peanuts in between your palms to take the peels off
- Add the peanuts to a grinder jar and grind to a coarse powder
- To this, add half of the powdered black pepper and approximately 1 teaspoon of salt. If you are cooking this recipe during a vrat/upvaas/fasting then rock salt is usually used instead of table salt
- Add the soaked Sabudana and mix thoroughly
- Coating with the peanut powder prevents the Sabudana from sticking to each other
- To a grinder jar add green chilies and ginger pieces and grind to a coarse paste
- Set a pan on medium heat and add ghee. Once the ghee melts add cumin seeds and the ginger chilli paste
- Stir fry for 30 seconds and add the pre-boiled potato pieces, the rest of the powdered black pepper and salt to taste. Stir fry the potatoes for 7 to 10 minutes until they turn slightly brown
- Add lime juice to taste
- Add the Sabudana and mix well with the potatoes
- Add half of the coriander leaves and stir fry on low heat for one minute
- Then place the lid on and cook for two minutes
- Repeat this process of stir frying (for 1 min) and cooking with the lid on (for 2 min) till the Sabudana becomes translucent.
- Cooking on low heat ensures that the Sabudana doesn’t stick to each other
- When the Sabudana is nicely cooked and translucent add lime juice and salt (to taste)
- Garnish with the remaining coriander leaves
