Sabudhana (Jevvarisi) Kichadi

I had it for the first time in a (marathi)friend's house for breakfast. It looked really unappetizing and I was quite suprised when it tasted good. Its like all my other recipes  really simple to make but awesome to taste. It can be had practically at any time of the day though its great for  breakfast or brunch.

Sabudhana - 1cup
Buttermilk -1/3 cup
Green chilles - 2 minced
Coriander - 1/4 bunch chopped
Mustad Seeds - 1tsp
Cumin seeds - 1tsp
Peanut - 1/3 cup (dry roasted and coarsely grounded)
Vegetable oil - 1Tbl

Powders:
Salt - to taste

How to:
  1. Wash and drain the sabudhana. Mix with buttermilk and keep aside for 5 hours. Then drain the sabudhana for excess buttermilk. Add enough salt mix and set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a kadai.
  3. Add the mustard and jeera and allow it to splitter.
  4. Add the green chillies and coriander. Fry for few minutes.
  5. Now Add the sabudhana. Mix it well and allow it to cook.
  6. This will take about 6-7 min. Do  not stir constantly.
  7. Now remove from fire and mix in the peanut powder.
  8. Serve hot.

Variations :
  1. Add chopped onions and fry along with the green chillies.
  2. Add boiled and chopped potates when frying the green chillies. Just add a pinch of salt for the potatoes.
  3. Add whole or halved(dry roasted) peanuts along with peanut powder for a better crunch.
  4. The buttermilk will make the sabudhana a little more stickier than usual. If you don't like this consistancy , just soak it in plain water for 8 hours or overnight.
  5. Complete till step 4 and add the contents of the kadai and sabudhana to a microwave vessel . Cook for 5 min. Stir after 2:30 minutes.
PS: If you use a kadai some part of the sabudhana might melt and stick to the bottom. Its easy to clean as the sabudhana is almost has a glue like consistancy , you can simple peel it off the bottom of the kadai before you begin to clean the vessel.
