Sabu Dana (Sago Grain ) Kichdi!!!


This is a very easy and quick recipe from Sago grains. In India it is mostly eaten during the days people do fasting for religious reasons. However it is a wonderful evening snack too. I used to love my grandmom's sago grains kichdi while growing up.

You will need:

1 cup sago grains( sabu dana)
3 cups water
1 sliced green chilli
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 chopped medium sized potato
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup crushed peanuts
salt to taste

Method:

Soak the sago grains in water for a minimun of three hours. Add 1 tsp of lemon juice while soaking.

Drain the water from sago grains after 3 hours and keep it aside.

Take a pan and add 2 tsp olive oil and heat it. Once the oil is hot add cumin seeds, green chilli, chopped potatoes and salt and cook till the potatoes get tender ( soft and cooked).Add the crushed peanuts and roast for about a minute. To this add the soaked sago grains and mix well. Add salt if needed.

Sago grain kichdi is ready to be relished!!!!
