PALAK -SAGO KHICHIDI (TAPIOCA PEARLS)

Calin's Kitchen Leave a comment

This dish is another addition to preparations with sago/sabudana/javarisi/tapioca pearls.Another innovation from

my kitchen.

Like any other day was getting ready to make my family’s favourite dish ‘sago with potatoes and peanuts’

SAGO,POTATO,PEANUT KHICHIDI but revised my menu when I saw the palak leaves lying in the kitchen countertop

to be included for lunch.Palak /spinach leaves are highly nutritious,and in this awakened awareness for healthy food

we have to include lots of greens in our diet.

Now to the recipe…

INGREDIENTS

1 cup sago (washed and soaked overnight )

1 onion chopped fine

1/2 tsp chilli flakes

1 small tomato

2-3 tbsp ghee or oil

salt to taste

2-3 tbsp cheese or paneer grated(optional)

1/2 tsp sugar

Ground to a coarse paste

A handful of spinach leaves

1 tsp cummin seeds

1 green chilli

1-2 cloves garlic

For tempering

1 tsp mustard seeds

1-2 dry red chillies

a pinch of asafoetida

METHOD

Heat oil and temper with listed ingredients .

Next add the onions ,salt and sauce till light brown.

Add chopped tomato and the green paste and sugar (to retain the colour)and saute for about 5 minutes.

Next add the chilli flakes and the soaked sago.

Mix well till well corporated.Cover and cook on a low flame till the pearls look glossy and cooked.Stir once after

covering.

Once it is cooked, add cheese and serve with raita, or chutney.

Note: Another variant of this recipe can be mixed with potatoes,peanuts,and palak. (like the recipe in the link above )

were put to boil.In the spur of the moment I got

Chick peas or garbanzo beans is one good

legume,with loads of protein,fibre,and many

other nutrients,and vitamins.

The fibre sourced from this peas is very

beneficial to diabetic patients .

1 cup chick peas =125 gm fibre .

Good to serve at breakfast.It’s best to pre-soak

before cooking. In case you forget to soak,do

not worry ,just add boiling hot water into a

casserole ,add the peas ,close the lid and set

aside for half an hour,and pressure cook .

Now …that’s a tip I have given .😀

and a little water till soft ( pressure cook )

This dish can be used to make wraps,or served

SAGO KHICHIDI

Calin's Kitchen 1 Comment

Sago/sabudana/sauvarisi/sau is widely used in making kheer or payasam a delight for all,no 

doubt.Not only payasam Halwas,biscuits,and vadam are made with this pearly substance 

sourced from tapioca.

This is not a low calorie food.It is high in calories and high in providing energy.Not much of 

nutrient contents,but still loved by all ,even those who love to lose weight .Anyway,let me get 

into the savoury dish I would like to share.This breakfast listed dish can be eaten without any

accompaniments.Those who love the extra dish can opt for raita or coconut chutney.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups sago washed and soaked overnight 

3-4 green chillies finely chopped

1 big onion finely chopped

1 inch ginger chopped

Few curry leaves

1/4 cup peanuts (to add a little protein)

1 tblsp.lime juice

1/2 tsp cummin powder

1/2 tsp coarsely ground pepper (optional as green chilli will add the spice )

1/2 tsp.mustard seeds

2 dry chillies

1/4 tsp turmeric

3-4 tblsp ghee +oil

salt to taste.

METHOD

Wash the sago again once (do not drain fully,let some moisture be there).

Heat oil in a tawa,and add mustard,dry chillies,onion,green chillies curry leaves and ginger 

and sauté till onion looks translucent. Add salt and turmeric.Add the peanuts and then the sago 

(Do not add water as the moisture in it is enough to cook.)Mix well cover and cook for 1 minute

Mix again,add lime juice and cover.Cook for another 2-3 minutes or till the pearls are gleaming 

and soft.

Remove from fire and serve hot or warm.
