Notes
- Variations
- Use good quality sabudana, I recommend using the Swad brand
- Soak Sabudana for at least 4 to 6 hours or overnight. There should be no excess water after it is fully soaked
- Test the sabudana is soaked well by pressing a couple of pearls between your fingers. They should be soft and should be easy to press down
- Cut the potatoes into small thin pieces so they will cook fast and even
- Dry roast the peanuts. Allow them to completely cool down and then pulse in a grinder a few times to make a coarse powder. Adding ground peanuts with sabudana will absorb any excess moisture making the khichdi non-sticky
- You can add veggies like diced carrots and peas along with potatoes
- This vegetarian recipe is gluten-free, if you are vegan, substitute ghee with neutral cooking oil
- Minced green chilies can be substituted with red chili powder
