How To Make Sabudana Khichdi
If Malaika's food post has left you craving sabudana khichdi, here's a simple recipe you can try at home.
Ingredients Required: Sabudana (sago), coarsely crushed peanut, ghee, cumin seeds, dried red pepper, curry leaves, Salt, chilli powder, coriander leaves, green chillies, and lemon juice
Step-by-Step To Make Sabudana Khichdi
Step 1: Wash the sabudana thoroughly until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for about an hour.
Step 2: After an hour, drain the sabudana in a colander and let the excess water drain completely. This helps prevent the sabudana from becoming sticky or forming lumps while cooking.
Step 3: Now starts the cooking process. Heat a pan, add a tablespoon of ghee and add zeera, lal mirch and kadhi patta.
Step 4: Once the chilli darkens slightly, add the soaked sabudana, crushed peanuts, salt and chilli powder. Mix gently over low heat until everything is well coated.
Step 5: Cook for a couple of minutes and then remove the pan from the heat. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the khichdi and mix well.
Step 6: Garnish it with coriander leaves and your healthy and tasty sabudana Khichdi is ready to be cherished.
