Sabudana Khichdi Recipe | Fasting-Friendly with Groundnut Oil

Sabudana khichdi is the fasting favourite that's equally good on any busy morning — soft pearls, crunchy peanuts, gentle spice.

Ingredients: 1 cup sabudana (soaked 4–6 hours); 2 tbsp cold-pressed groundnut oil; 1 tsp cumin seeds; 1–2 green chillies; 1 small potato, cubed; ½ cup roasted peanuts, crushed; salt; lemon; coriander.

1. Heat the groundnut oil, add the cumin and chillies, then the potato; cook until tender.

2. Add the soaked sabudana and crushed peanuts with salt.

3. Toss gently on medium heat until the pearls turn translucent — 3 to 4 minutes. Don't overcook, or it turns gummy.

4. Finish with lemon juice and coriander.
