Ingredients: 3 cups of sago/ sabudana, 3 tbsp roasted groundnut powder, 1 tbsp cumin                seeds, 8 – 10 curry leaves, 2 green chillis chopped, 4 tsp red chilli powder, 1 lemon juice, 3 tsp  sugar, salt to taste, 2 tbsp of coriander

Preparation Time: 15 min

 

 

 

 Recipe:

1.       Wash and soak sabudana well in advance (say 3- 4 hours before to make soft and well cooked sabudana). While soaking it, the amount of water plays a vital role. Add water only to submerge the sabudana (in winters and monsoons). For summers, keep water level of 3 mm approx above the soaked sago.

2.       Take the soaked sago and turn it over in the vessel only to break the lumps formed.

3.       Take a big deep pan. Heat it. Add gee to it for seasoning. Now add cumin seeds. Wait till they pop. Now add green chilli and curry leaves.

4.        Now, add the groundnut powder, followed by the sago. Add red chilli powder, salt and sugar. Mix all well. Press the sago while mixing to keep it soft.

5.       If you feel it to be very dry, then sprinkle a handful of water.

6.       Keep the gas low and cover with a lid. Allow it to cook for 10 min. Keep stirring in the middle 2-3 times.

7.       Before serving, add lemon juice and garnish with ample of coriander.

Tips: You can as well add boiled potato, bottle guard and capsicum to make it healthier.
