My friend with whom I share the same first name, who is also my 'regular recipe contributor' has shared one of her favourite snack recipe with us. A typical Gujarati snack that can be eaten with pickle or yogurt (dahi/curd) and on its own. The main ingredient here is 'Sago' also called Sabudhana, and is used in a popular dessert-ish drink called 'Falooda' with a rose flavouring to it and a generous amount of vermicelli in it. Sago is basically starch extracts.
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of Sabudana(sago)
- 1 big potato-chopped into small pieces
- Half cup peas (you can use frozen too)
- 4 Curry leaves
- Half a teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
- Less than half teaspoon mustard seeds (rai)
- Half teaspoon Red chilli powder
- A pinch of Turmeric (haldi) powder
- Lemon or lime juice (as per your taste)
- Roasted peanuts
- Coriander (Cilantro/Dhania) leaves
- 1 or 1 and a half tbsp Ghee/oil (I used ghee)
- Salt to taste
Preparation:
1.Soak 2 cups sabudana in cold water for 2 hours. Drain the water after 2 hours and leave it overnight so that any little trace of water is evaporated.
2. Take a saucepan. Pour ghee or oil.
3. Once the ghee or oil is heated, add mustard seeds and as they splutter add cumin seeds.
4. Then add curry leaves followed by chopped potato. Let the potatoes cook for about 10-12 minutes.
5. Then add roasted/unroasted peanuts. Stir well.
6. Now add peas let it cook for 3 to 5mins.
7. Pour lime/lemon juice. Add Red chilli powder, turmeric, salt (as per your taste). Stir it well.
8. Now at end add sabudana (sago) mix it very gently and slowly.
9. Garnish with chopped coriander/cilantro leaves.
Serve with yoghurt, pickle, or even just as it is.
