Sabudana Khichdi

1. Soak 1/2 cup tapioca pearls (Sabudana) in hot water for 8-9 hours.

2. In a kadhai, add 3 tsp ghee. Once hot, add 1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera), pinch of asafoetida, 4 finely chopped green chillies, 1 finely chopped potato and 1 finely chopped capsicum.

3. Also add salt to taste. Stir fry till the potato and capsicum are cooked.

4. Separately, in a pan, dry roast 1/4 cup peanuts. Grind them to a semi-coarse powder and keep aside.

5. Now add the peanut powder to the kadhai with veggies.

6. Mix well and add the tapioca pearls.

7. It is essential to add the peanut powder before the tapioca pearls to avoid them turning mushy.

8. Mix and cook on medium flame for 3-4 min. Keep stirring else it may stick to the pan. Once the tapioca pearls turn transparent, switch off the flame.

9. Add 1 tsp sugar and 1/2 lemon juice. Mix well.

Serve hot with curd!
