Cooking with Shail

Hello.. How is everyone doing? Today I am posting a recipe which is normally made for fasting. It is basic recipe very easy to make and very yummy. This recipe is very common during the fasting months of “Shraavan” and on other days of fasting. This hardly takes 10 mins to make and is yummy. I love this dish so I do not wait for fasting days I make it anytime for breakfast or lunch. Tapioca Sago is full of carbohydrates hence it is normally advised to have it for breakfast so that it is digested easily. Lets check out the recipe.

Ingredients:

Tapioca Sago/Sabudana- 1 cup

Peanuts – 1/2 cup

Boiled Potatoes- 2 large

Green Chilli- 2 pieces

Curry Leaves- 5-6 pieces

Water for Soaking- 1 1/2 cup

Lemon juice- 1 lemon

Coriander (finely chopped)- 1/4 cup

Oil or Ghee/clarified butter – 2 tsp

Salt to taste

1) Soak the Tapioca Sago/Sabudana for 6-7 hours.

2) After 6-7 hours check the tapioca sago/sabudana it will have soaked up all the water and will ave swollen in size and it will have become soft. Drain the water if any left after 6-7 hours.

4) Chop the potatoes into cubes.
