Sabudana Khichdi is a comforting Indian one-pot meal of rice and lentils cooked with gentle spices. This high protein vegetarian dish is easy to digest, DASH-friendly, and ideal for healthy family meals and bariatric diets.
Rinse the sabudana well and soak it in just enough water to cover for 5-6 hours or overnight until the pearls are plump and soft.
Boil the potatoes until fork-tender, then peel and cube them into bite-sized pieces; set aside.
In a wide pan over medium heat, add ghee or oil; once hot, add cumin seeds and let them crackle for about 30 seconds.
Add chopped green chili for mild heat and sauté for 30 seconds, then add boiled potatoes and roasted peanuts. Stir gently for 2-3 minutes, ensuring even distribution.
Add soaked, drained sabudana and cooked moong dal. Sprinkle with salt and sugar. Cook on medium-low, stirring gently to prevent sticking, until pearls turn translucent and non-sticky (5–7 min).
Turn off the heat, squeeze fresh lime juice over, and garnish with cilantro. Serve immediately for optimal texture.
