Maharashtrian Snack - Sabudanyachi Khichadi

Sabudanyachi Khichadi - Veg. Sago Snack.
This is a traditional Maharastrian recipe. A delicious snack, ideal for fasting.

Style : Maharashtra, Western India.

Serves : 8

Ingredients
2 cup of sabudana (sago)
1/4 cup grated coconut
1/2 cup peanut powder
2 green chilies, chopped.
1 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
1 tablespoon ghee
2 small potato, cut into small cubes
salt to taste

Method
1. Wash sabudana in water.


2. Drain, then sprinkle a little water on it, and set aside for an hour.

3. Heat ghee in a thick bottom vessel (it is hot enough if a little jeera added to it starts sputtering).

4. Add the green chilies and jeeera for a minute.

5. Add the potato and fry for a few minutes.

6. Add salt and peanut powder to the Sabudana. (A little sugar, too, if you like the taste).

7. Add this sabudana on the potatoes and fry.

8. Let the mixture cook for about 10 min.

9. Stir occasionally and sprinkle a little water if it is dry.
10. Garnish with grated coconut and serve hot.
Tip
To make peanut powder, roast shelled peanuts in a pan till the skin comes off easily. After removing the skin, coarse grind in a mixer or a grinder.
Leftover Sabudanyachi khichadi can be used again; heat it up in a kadai with a little ghee.
