Ingredients

• 1 cup sabudana (tapioca pearls)
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, crushed (make sure they are peanut-free for allergies)
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 green chili, finely chopped (optional for kids)
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped for garnish
• Lemon wedges for serving

Directions

1. Rinse the sabudana under cold water until the water runs clear. Place the rinsed sabudana in a bowl and cover with water. Let it soak for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. After soaking, drain the sabudana using a fine mesh strainer to remove excess water. Set aside.
3. In a non-stick pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
4. Add the diced potatoes to the pan and cook until they are slightly golden brown and tender.
5. Add the drained sabudana, crushed peanuts, and green chili to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
6. Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sabudana becomes translucent and the flavors have melded together.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
8. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
