Sabudana Khichdi / Sago Khichdi

-
This is a very famous and traditional dish of Maharashtra. People usually make this during fasting as it doesn't involve garlic or onions. Best for lunch and breakfast. The crunchy peanuts makes it more tasty.

NOTE :  
  • Number of green chilies depend on how spicy they are.
  • Optional - Can use 2 tbsp coriander leaves and 2 tbsp lemon juice at the end to garnish.
  • The sago should be soaked well for it to get cooked well. 
  • Do not soak sago in more water but just wash and add water to immerse the sago or else it will become gooey.
  • We will get to know if the sago is cooked when it becomes transparent.
  • If the sago's are over cooked then it again turns to white.
  • It tends to be sticky but keep tossing in between to avoid sticking to the bottom.
  • Make sure to switch off the stove and to leave it for 5 mints before adding lemon juice else it might become bitter.
  • Depending upon the type and quality of sabudana / Sago we are soaking them. For smaller ones soak for 15-20 minutes and for bigger sago's 4-5 hours.

Phenori / Sweet Satta

Image
Phenori also called as Sweet Satta is a sweet dish prepared during special occasions specially during Diwali. My mom always used to  prepare it during Diwali and we kids used to finish all within a week. Personally, I am not a sweet lover but I can't stop eating Phenori. They are so yum, crispy and tasty. The procedure to prepare it looks difficult but is really not so. Try preparing little at first so that you get an idea how it tastes or how much difficult it is. NOTE :  Sugar Syrup can be used instead of Sugar powder. Phenori should be fried properly else they will become soft. You can sprinkle chiroti rawa  or rice flour to make them crispy. Roll from center to the side. All the layers should be clearly visible. And avoid the centre from getting thin. The number of layers can be 3,5 or 7. The oil/ghee to fry should be medium hot and not too hot. Preparation Time : 30 Minutes Cooking Time : 5 Minutes Total Taken : 35 Minutes Ingredients: Ma
