navratri special recipes,Saboodana Khichdi

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sabudana (sago pearls)
  • 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
  • A handful of roasted peanuts, coarsely crushed
  • 10-12 curry leaves
  • Sendha namak (rock salt) to taste
  • 2-3 tbsp ghee (clarified butter) or vegetable oil
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
  • Lemon juice (optional, for tangy flavor)

Instructions:

1. Preparing Sabudana:

  • Rinse the sabudana thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear.
  • Soak the rinsed sabudana in just enough water to cover it for about 3-4 hours or until it becomes soft. You should be able to break a sabudana pearl easily between your fingers when it's ready.

2. Cooking Potatoes:

  • Boil the diced potatoes until they are tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.

3. Tempering:

  • Heat ghee or vegetable oil in a pan or kadai. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.

  • Add chopped green chilies and curry leaves. Sauté for a minute.

4. Mixing the Ingredients:

  • Add the boiled diced potatoes to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until they turn slightly golden.

  • Now, add the soaked and drained sabudana to the pan. Mix well with the potatoes.

  • Stir in the coarsely crushed roasted peanuts. This will add a delightful crunch to the khichdi.

5. Seasoning:

  • Season the mixture with sendha namak (rock salt) as per your taste. Remember, you're fasting during Navratri, so regular salt is not used.

  • If you like a tangy flavor, you can squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the khichdi at this stage.

6. Cooking Sabudana:

  • Cook the mixture on low to medium heat, stirring occasionally. The sabudana will turn translucent as it cooks.

7. Garnish:

  • Once the sabudana pearls have turned translucent and the khichdi is well-cooked (about 5-7 minutes), garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

8. Serving:

  • Serve Sabudana Khichdi hot, along with plain yogurt or a cup of tea. Enjoy your Navratri special dish!

Sabudana Khichdi is a delicious and wholesome fasting food that's both comforting and nutritious.
