Steps

Prep. 15 min+4-5 hours soaking time)cooking15min.

1

First, heat ghee in a pan and once it is nicely hot, add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
2

Meanwhile, keep all the dry fruits—halved cashews, sliced almonds, and raisins—ready in a plate.
3

Once the cumin seeds crackle, add these prepared dry fruits into the pan.
4

Saute these dry fruits gently with the cumin seeds on a low flame so they get perfectly crunchy.
5

Once the dry fruits are slightly sautéed, add small pieces of boiled potato to the pan.
6

Now, mix the potatoes and dry fruits well in the ghee and let them cook for 2-3 minutes until the potatoes turn slightly crispy.
7

Next, add the well-soaked and fluffy sabudana on top of this fruity-nutty mixture.
8

Right after adding the sabudana, sprinkle rock salt (sindhal) by hand according to your taste.
9

Mix all the ingredients together very gently using a spatula so that the sabudana pearls do not break.
10

Finally, turn off the flame, pour fresh lemon juice over it, and give it a final mix. Your mouth-watering, non-sticky, and delicious Crunchy & Fluffy Nutty Sabudana Khichdi is ready!

Tips

∆ Perfect Soaking : Make sure to drain all the water thoroughly after soaking the sabudana. Any leftover water will make the khichdi sticky.
∆ Crunchy Nuts : Always sauté the dry fruits on a low flame so they get perfectly crunchy without getting burnt.
