  1. Rinse sabudana pearls in water.
  2. Then, soak 1 cup of sabudana pearls in 1 cup of water overnight for best results.
  3. Next day, check the pearls. They should easily squish when squeezed.
  4. Add a little sugar, salt to season and some of the crushed peanuts. Set aside.

Roasted crushed peanuts

  1. Roast peanuts on a low flame in a wide pan.
  2. Once the peanuts are nicely roasted, cool them before coarsely grinding to a powder.

  4. Shut the lid and cook the potatoes until soft.
  5. Now tip in the soaked sabudana/tapioca pearls. Mix well and cook until the tapioca pearls turn translucent.
