How to make Sabudana Khichdi

A perfect snack to go with evening tea and you can even have this tasty snack in your breakfast too. Yay!! 😀 The recipe name is Sabudana Khichdi , but I don’t like calling it Khichdi (Because it’s one of my favourite snack from all time :p). This authentic recipe is very simple and flavorful.

In India, this vegan and the gluten-free recipe is very popular, especially during the Navratri fasting season. This is one of my favourite recipe.

Let’s have a look at how this tasty khichdi is made:-

Ingredients Required:

500 grams or 2 cups Sabudana before soaking
6 cups water for soaking
6 tablespoon oil and oil for frying
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds (rai)
2 teaspoon red chilli powder
3-4 curry leaves* (optional)
2 medium-sized potatoes peeled and cubed
1/4 cup roasted peanuts *
Salt to taste (sendha namak for upvaas)
2 Lemon or to taste
Fistful of Chopped cilantro (dhaniya)

How to make Sabudana Khichdi:

Soak around 500 gm Sabudana in water for around 4-6 hours or until it gets soft.
Then 15 minutes before you’re making sabudana khichdi spread it on a towel or a cotton cloth so that excess water can be soaked.

Then after 15 minutes put Sabudana into a vessel and add salt as per taste, red chilli powder to it. And mix well.

Now Dice 2 medium size potatoes in small rectangular shape and fry it in hot oil

Dry roast some groundnuts for few minutes

Remove them from the flame, after few minutes groundnuts will become crisp then crush the nuts gently using mortar and pestle

After that in a deep pot heat some oil and add 1 tablespoon of brown mustard seeds and wait till it starts popping.

Now add chopped green chillies, crushed groundnuts, fried potatoes, and finally sabudana into this. Mix well. And let sabudana cook for 7-8 minutes. Mixing well after every few minutes.
