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
- 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.
- After soaking, drain the sabudana using a fine mesh strainer to remove excess water. Set aside.
- In a non-stick pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pan and cook until they are slightly golden brown and tender.
- Add the drained sabudana, crushed peanuts, and green chili to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sabudana becomes translucent and the flavors have melded together.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
