by Shaheen Ali

There are some days when you don’t feel like getting into the kitchen and prepare a lavish spread which you have been doing the whole month. Yes, it’s Ramadan and everyday i try making something huge for my family iftaar. Yesterday was a tiring day for me, and it was just not my day to cook. After a whole day work, i only had saboodana soaked a day before, which came to my rescue. Saboodana khichdi, easy, quick and filling one pot snack that keep tummy full and mummy cool. haha!


I am sago lover and i love eating saboodana khichdi in any time of the day. Last evening was a breezy, foggy, raining evening, so we had saboodana khichdi with a hot cup of coffee while reading my favorite Nigella Lawson.

There was a time when i had quit making this , as it always use to get sticky and i had to struggle taking it out from my wok and ladle. But then my mom gave me some awesome tips for making perfect non sticky saboodana khichdi, so finally i mastered it and now enjoy it every now and then.

Let us quickly check out the trick as well as the method of making this amazing savory dish.

Instructions
  1. Wash and soak saboodana for 2 hours approx. Drain water and spread the pearls on a kitchen towel to absorb moisture.
  2. When the pearls are dry grease your palms with oil and gently rub the pearls. This will grease them too and avoid sticking to each other.
  3. Heat oil in a wok and add cumin, curry leaves and broken red chilies.
  4. When they start to splutter, add peanuts and roughly chopped boiled potatoes and saute them for a while.
  5. Now add red chili powder, black salt, little white salt as needed and mix well.
  6. Once the potatoes start frying , simmer the flames and add in the saboodana pearls and mix nicely. Keep tossing fast, to avoid saboodana stick to the bottom.
  7. Add roasted peanut powder and some fresh coriander and mix well.
  8. Squeeze in some lemon juice and sprinkle sugar, mix again and turn off the flames.
  9. Serve hot with morning/evening tea or coffee.
