Here's a simple and traditional recipe for Sabudana Khichdi, a popular dish often prepared during Shivratri:

Ingredients:

- 1 cup Sabudana (tapioca pearls)
- 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely ground
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
- A handful of curry leaves
- Rock salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

1. Rinse the sabudana under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak them in water just enough to cover them for 4-5 hours or overnight.

2. After soaking, fluff the sabudana gently with a fork.

3. Heat ghee in a pan, add cumin seeds, and let them splutter. Add chopped green chilies and curry leaves.

4. Add diced potatoes and cook until they are soft and golden.

5. Add the soaked sabudana to the pan and mix well. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally.

6. Once the sabudana pearls become translucent and separate, add ground peanuts and rock salt. Mix thoroughly.

7. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until everything is well combined.

8. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

Serve the Sabudana Khichdi hot, with a squeeze of lemon juice on top. Enjoy your Shivratri meal!
