Ingredients

300 grams Sabudana
1 tablespoon Ghee
100 grams potato boiled
2 green chilli chopped
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon Red chilli powder
3-4 tablespoon Peanuts roasted
2 tablespoon Lemon Juice
2-3 tablespoon Chopped Coriander
1 tsp Cumin seeds

Instructions

Wash and soak sabudana in enough water to barely cover it. Keep it for 2 hours. After soaking sabudana doubles in size and pearls are separate from each other. If press the sabudana pearl with your two fingers it yields.
After that heat ghee in a pan add cumin seeds and green chilli. Fry them for 1 minute and add boiled potatoes.
Saute these boiled potatoes Cook for 3-4 minutes. After that add soaked sabudana.

Notes

There are many variations of the sabudana khichdi recipe. Sometimes lemon juice is added for sourness, some people add amchur powder (mango powder). I prefer to add lime juice.
Depending on the mood I sometimes add fried potatoes, sometimes add boiled potatoes. Sometimes I skip potatoes and make sabudana khichdi without potatoes.
You can add curry leaves or skip that as per your choice.
Starch makes sabudana clumpy so make sure to rinse the sago until water turns clear.
For soaking sabudana ideal ration of water to sabudana is 1:1. So per cup of sago pearls, use 1 cup of water to soak it. Soak it for 4-5 hrs.
To test that sabudana has been properly soaked press a pearl between your thumb and index finger. If it smashes easily that means it is perfectly soaked.
