1) Wash sabudana under running water so that no powder is left. Soak it in water for 1.5 hrs to 2 hrs and drain the water. Put it in sieve for 30 min so that the water is completely drained and sabutdana is dry.
2) Dry roast groundnuts on gas or in microwave and powder them coarsely in grinder. No need to peel them.
3) Boil the potato in cooker or cook in microwave.
4) Heat oil, add mustard seeds, chopped green chillis, curry leaves and potatoes cut into fine cubes.
5) Add salt, sugar(optional), turmeric powder, chilli powder, lemon juice and ground nut coarsed powder and mix well.
6) Add sabudana and mix well. Keep on simmer for 5 to 10 minutes till sabudana is cooked. Sabudana will change colour once it is cooked.
7) Remove from fire and serve hot garnished with corinder leaves and grated coconut.

Note: Sabutdana khichdi is particularly eaten on fasting days. I have used small sabutdana. Try this khicdi if you like sabutdana taste. Sabutdana smells like medicine.
