Sabudanu Khichdi

Ingredients

  • 1 cup tapioca (soaked for 4 hours)
  • 1 medium potato (finely diced (about 1 cup chopped))
  • 3 tbsp ghee (or oil)
  • 2 Tbsp almond flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1-2 green chilies (chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Soak sabudana (tapioca) with just enough water to cover. Drain soaked tapioca in a colander for 10 minutes. Do not stir it too much as they will break.
  2. Heat ghee in a skillet.
  3. Add cumin seeds and green chilies. Cumin seeds should sizzle and pop.
  4. Add potatoes and cook.
  5. When potatoes are cooked, add tapioca, salt, sugar, and almond flour.
  6. Cook for 2 minutes only. Gently stir, being careful not to break the sabudana pearls.
