Sabudana Khichdi with Green Coriander, Green Chillies, and Ginger Paste

Shri Ardhapurkar is an active member on a couple of Maharashtrian food groups that I am a part of and posts traditional recipes from the Marathwada region of Maharashtra. His recipes for Methkut and Kala Masala inspired me to start making fresh masalas at home.

When he posted a picture and recipe of this Spicy Green Sabudana Khichdi, I was instantly enamoured because I love both the traditional Sabudana Khichdi and Green Pulav.  When I made this recipe the first time, I shared it with my colleagues at work and they absolutely loved it. Since then it has become a regular feature in my home. 🙂

So here I am sharing this recipe with you. Thank you so much, Shobha Deshmukh; I owe you one! Thank you, Ardhapurkar-Garu for introducing me to this wonderful breakfast.

Step-by-Step Recipe for Making Spicy Green Sabudana Khichdi

1. Soaking and Draining the Sabudana
   1. Add 1 tsp salt in 2 cups water, and mix well till it dissolves.
   2. Now add the sabudana to the salted water and let it soak for about 45 minutes or till it swells. I find that using salt water helps the sabudana taste better in the khichdi.Pin
   3. Using a colander, drain all water from the sabudana.
   4. Leave the sabudana in the colander for about 2-4 hours so that it loses all the water and dry a bit. This will prevent the sabudana from being all sticky and gluggy.

   5. Just before making the khichdi, mix the roasted peanut powder in the sabudana.

   6. Set aside.
2. Boil the Potato
   1. Parboil the potato. If you prick the potato, it should still feel firm but cooked.
   2. After the potato cools, peel it and cut into 1/2″ cubes.
   3. Set aside.
3. Making the Coriander-Green Chilly-Ginger Masala
   1. Add a little water, coriander, green chillies, and ginger to the chutney attachment.

   2. Grind the ingredients to a fine, thick paste. Do not add too much water as the paste will become runny.
      Pin
   3. Set aside.
4. Making the Spicy Sabudana Khichdi with Coriander and Green Chilly Paste
   1. In a kadhai, heat the ghee. I used ghee as Maharashtrians do not use oil and because the khichdi tastes great when cooked in ghee.
   2. When the ghee melts, add the cumin seeds and saute till they start to crackle.
   3. Next, add the chopped green chillies and saute for a minute.

   4. Next add the roasted peanuts and stir-fry for a minute. I add peanuts for the crunch. This is an optional step.

   6. Now turn the heat to low and wait for 1-2 minutes.

   8. Mix well and stir-fry for a few seconds. Do not fry because the paste will turn blackish.
   9. Now add the sabudana-peanut powder mix.

   10. Mix well.
   11. Now turn up the heat to medium.
   12. Stir-fry the Sabudana Khichdi for 5-7 minutes till the Sabudana starts to turn translucent.
