Sabudana Khichdi

Stolen from : The Beginner's Cook Book : Cereals and Pulses p. 51

4 portions (if you can give it away)

100g sago
50g peantus
1/2 lime
tsp sugar
100g potatoes
5g green chillies
2g curry leaves
30ml oil
salt
coriander leaves for garnish

  1. Roast & crush peanuts coarsely
  2. Rinse sago, leave for 2 hours
  3. Boil peel & cube potato
  4. Heat oil, add sliced chillies, ginger & curry leaves - sauté
  5. Add sago, peanuts, sugar & salt - cook covered
  6. Add cubes pots & lime juice
  7. Stir & cook until sago is done
This was too greasy for me, I just wanted to see what sago was like. I tried to fry it in considerably less oil but there wasn't enough liquid. The sago never really cooked fully, I think the two hours leave time is helped by being somewhere that's 30C and not 15C.
Also I cooked rice for it when it seems you should have it instead of rice. Worse bit is I've got half of it left - I binned it when I got up to put my plate away, it looked so vile in all that grease.

There's a sago pudding recipe on the packet, I'm going to try that because sago is 94% protein.

I did some searches and every other recipe tells you to soak the sago not just wet it.
