Ingredients
- 1 cup Sabudana (sago pearls)
- 1.5 cups Water
- 1 medium, diced Potato
- 2 number, finely chopped Green chilies
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.75 teaspoon, or to taste Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the sabudana under cold water until the water runs clear to remove extra starch. This will prevent it from becoming sticky.
Step 2
Soak the sabudana in 1.5 cups of water for about 4-5 hours or overnight, making sure the water level is just above the sabudana.
Step 3
After soaking, drain any excess water. The sabudana should be soft when pressed between fingers.
Step 4
Heat ghee or oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.
Step 5
Add the finely chopped green chilies and diced potato. Sauté them for about 5-6 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through.
Step 6
Add the soaked and drained sabudana to the pan. Sprinkle salt and sugar over it and gently mix everything.
Step 7
Cook on medium-low heat for 5-7 minutes while stirring gently. Be careful not to mash the sabudana.
Step 8
Once the sabudana turns translucent and is cooked through, add lemon juice and mix well.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
