Sultry Sabudana Khitchdi (Sago Pearls)

Sabudana Khitchdi is one of my favorite foods. It is cooked in Gujarat, India as a fasting dish and as a breakfast dish. Once hard Sabudana or Sago Pearls become soft and spongy after cooked. When you mix potatoes and Sabudana together, it is like the ultimate comfort food union. :)Spongy, spicy, sticky, crunchy and most of all yummilicious!
Ingredients
1 cup Sabudana (Sago pearls)
1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
1 tablespoon Olive oil
1 medium sized Potato
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon coriander leaves
3-4 curry leaves
1 small Jalopeno pepper diced
2 tablespoon roasted and crushed peanuts
1/2 lime

Directions
1. Soak Sabudana in water for about 2-3 hours.
2. Chop the potatoes in cubes 1 cm in width andlength.
