Ingredients

• 1 cup Tapioca pearls (sabudana)
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Ghee
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 2 Green chilies, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Roasted peanuts, coarsely crushed
• 1 small Potato, diced
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 10 Curry leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the tapioca pearls under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak them in 2 cups of water for about 4 hours or until they double in size.

Step 2

Drain the soaked tapioca pearls thoroughly and set them aside.

Step 3

In a large pan, heat the ghee over medium heat.

Step 4

Add cumin seeds to the ghee. Once they start to splutter, add the finely chopped green chilies and curry leaves, sauté for about 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the diced potato and cook until it becomes tender, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Add the grated carrot and sauté for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the crushed roasted peanuts and mix well.

Step 8

Now, add the drained tapioca pearls to the pan, sprinkle the salt, and mix gently to combine all the ingredients without mushing the pearls.

Step 9

Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 3-5 minutes until the pearls become translucent.

Step 10

Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice. Mix well.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
