Sabudana Khichdi ~ Sago Upma

Apple Chaat, Milk and Sabudana Khichdi

This Khichdi or Upma happens to be a childhood favorite of mine. It has been a few years since I made this at home and when I was going through a list of possible breakfast items, I had written down and thought I should give it a try with the sabudana we get here and it came out perfect!!

So here it is for Day 4 of BM #16.

Ingredients -

Sabudana/Saggubiyyam/Sago 2 cups
Curds/Yogurt 1/4 cup (Optional)
Onions chopped 1/2 cup
Potatoes boiled and cubed 1 cup
Turmeric 1/2 tsp
Peanut-Coconut Curry Powder 1/2 cup
Salt to taste
Seasoning (Oil 1 Tbsp, Chana Dal 2 tsp, Urad Dal 1 tsp, Cumin 1/2 tsp, Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp, Curry leaves few)
Lemon Juice as needed

Method Of Preparation -

Wash Sabudana in clean water and drain. Add 1/4 cup of curds/yogurt mix well, cover and set aside overnight.

Note - Instead of curds, plain water can be added too and the resting time depends on the variety of sabudana used.

Fluff the soaked sabudana and mix in the peanut-coconut masala powder and set aside.

In a heated wok/kadai, add oil and the rest of the seasoning. After the mustard seeds pop and the dals are brown, saute onions until golden brown.

Add in the boiled and cubed potatoes and turmeric. Also sprinkle salt and transfer the fluffed sabudana, mix and let it cook for a couple of minutes.

Remove from fire and squeeze in some lemon juice.

Serve as is or with a chutney of your choice.
