Savaan Special usually refers to dishes made during Sawan (Shravan), a holy month in the Hindu calendar. Here's a simple recipe for Savaan Special Sabudana Khichdi .

1. Ingredient

  • 1 cup sabudana (tapioca pearls)
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely ground
  • 1-2 green chilies, chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1-2 tbsp ghee or oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • Lemon juice (optional)

2. Instructions

  1. Soak Sabudana: Rinse the sabudana under running water until the water runs clear. Soak in water just enough to cover the sabudana for about 4-5 hours or overnight. Drain any excess water before cooking.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Heat ghee or oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add the cubed potatoes and saut until they are golden and cooked through.
  3. Cook Sabudana: Add the soaked sabudana to the pan with potatoes. Stir well to combine.
  4. Add Peanuts and Chilies: Add the roasted peanuts, green chilies, and salt. Mix everything well and cook on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Finish and Serve: Once the sabudana pearls become translucent and are cooked, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Serve hot.
