👩‍🍳 How to make Sabudana Khichdi MP Style

Soak sabudana (4–6 hours): Rinse sabudana 3 times until water runs clear. Add just enough water to cover (1 cm above level). Soak 4–6 hours minimum. Perfect sabudana: press a pearl between fingers — it should mash easily with no hard center. Drain any excess water.
Mix before cooking (2 mins, no heat): In a bowl, combine soaked sabudana with crushed peanuts, sugar, and salt. Mix gently — this ensures even distribution of peanuts and prevents sticking.
Temper (2 mins, medium heat): Heat ghee in a non-stick pan. Add cumin seeds — when golden, add green chillies.
Finish: Squeeze lemon juice, garnish with coriander and coconut.

📖 Cultural notes

Sabudana Khichdi is the go-to fasting food across MP during Navratri and Mahashivratri — Madhya Pradesh's version uses more peanuts and a touch of sugar for a characteristic sweet-salty balance. ---
