     HAPPY NAVRATRI to everyone. Courageous, powerful ,divine, colorful part of us. Maa Durga's time begins. Here's to the festivities and the new beginnings. May God Bless us all..

     Today is the first day of Navratri  and I am really excited about all the coming days of DURGA PUJA. Navratri is an auspicious occasion as all the festivities began with the beginning  of Navratri as it is the mark of Hindu New Year. On the occasion of Durga puja I am going to share my most favorite dishes with you all so that u can also try to make it and enjoy the burst of flavors with simple ingredients...

       SABUDANA(sago) KHICHDI

Ingredients-
1 cup Sago (sabudana) Soak for about 3-4 hour in one and half cup of water
1 medium size potato cut into cube
4 green chili's chopped
1 medium tomato chopped (optional)
1/4 tsp of cumin seeds
1/2 tbsp of lemon juice
1/4 cup of roasted n peeled peanuts and coarsely grined (they can also be used for garnishing as well)
Rock salt to taste
3 tbsp of desi ghee or olive oil can also be used (I prefer ghee)
Few coriander leaves for garnishing


Method-
Heat ghee or olive oil in a wok or pan when it's hot put cumin seeds when cumin seeds crackle add potatoes and a pinch of salt(salt helps to cook potatoes quickly)
cook till the potatoes are soft then add tomatoes and green chili's when tomatoes are soft add soaked sago in a pan and stir well.it will be translucent when it will be cooked after its done sprinkle some lemon juice n peanuts on top and sprinkle some coriander leaves after turning the flame off.
Serve hot and be imaginative while u plate the dish, sprinkle some peanuts, put one or two lemon wedges and a green chili to top it all few coriander leaves.
