Vegetarian

Sabudana

Water

Cumin seeds

Green chilies

Curry leaves

Small potatoes

Rock salt

Peanuts

Desiccated coconut

Lemon juice

Take sabudana in a colander and wash under running cold water till water runs clear. You need to make sure to get rid of all the starch.

step 1

Then soak in the water for 3-4 hours or overnight (depending on your sabudana type and quality). The one we get here in the usa needs overnight soaking. (*see the soaking tips below to avoid stickiness).

step 2

After the soaking time, tapioca pearls will swell up almost all the water and there will be hardly any water left. Transfer the soaked sabudana in a colander and let the excess water drain for 10-15 minutes.

step 3

How to check sabudana is soaked properly and ready for cooking? when you press one soaked pearl between your finger and thumb, it should mash very easily without any effort.

step 4

Dry roast the peanuts on medium-low heat with stirring constantly until peanuts get light brown color.

step 5

Let it cool down and then roughly crush them using mortar and pestle or a food processor or blender. Make sure to keep it coarse (not fine powder.).

step 6

Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot add cumin seeds and let them sizzle a bit.

step 7

Then add chopped green chilies and curry leaves. Saute for 30 seconds.

step 8

Then add cubed potatoes and sendha namak. Mix well and cook until tender. You can use boiled potatoes as well, if so just fry for 2 minutes only.

step 9

Once potatoes are cooked, add crushed peanuts and coconut. Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes.

step 10

Then add soaked-drained sabudana. If sabudana are drained properly, they will stay separated. Otherwise, they will stick to each other.

step 11

And cook for a few minutes until sabudana pearls are soft and transparent. Make sure to stir once or twice, so it doesnt stick to the bottom of the pan. If you overcook the sabudana then it will become chewy and will stick to each other and make a big clump.

step 12

Lastly add sugar, lemon (lime) juice and cilantro. Toss well and it is ready to serve.

step 13

Spice Up The Curry
