HideShow Media1.
Wash Saboodana till water clears. Soak in water to about 3 cm/ 1 1/2" above it, for about an hour.
2.
Drain in a colander, then spread over a thick cloth for about 1 hour. It is important for the water to drain out very well, as other wise when cooked, the sabudana will stick together in lumps.

Mix sabudana, peanuts, salt, and chilli powder very well, so that it is coated well with this mixture.
