How to make Sabudana khichdi with step by step images

Soak sabudana/ sago overnight with water just enough to cover sabudana. Make sure not to pour too much water which will make sabudana/ sago soggy.
In the morning the sabudana should be easily mashable with fingers, which is a sign that sago was soaked properly.
Wash, peel and chop potatoes into tiny cubes.
Heat oil in a pan/ kadai, add cumin seeds after it crackles add green chilli and curry leaves. Give it a stir and add chopped potato cubes and salt. Mix well and cook the potatoes with lid on in medium flame without adding any water. Give it an occasional stir to make sure it does not get burnt.
When the potatoes look cooked add soaked sabudana/ sago and chopped cilantro. Mix well and keep fluffing it until the sabudana/ sago turns transparent in color.
Put off the flame and add lemon juice in it and mix well. Serve it hot !
