Serves: 2       

Preparation time: 10 minutes             

Total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1 cup sabudana (sago pearls)
1 medium-sized boiled and mashed sweet potato
2 tbsp roasted and crushed peanuts
1 green chili, finely chopped
½ tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
Rock salt (sendha namak) to taste
A2 ghee for cooking the chillas

Method:

1. Rinse the sabudana in cold water 2-3 times until the water becomes clear. Then, soak the sabudana in enough water to cover it and let it sit for about 5 hours or until the pearls become soft and swell.
2. After the soaking time, drain the water from the sabudana using a colander. Let it rest for a few minutes to remove any excess water.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the soaked sabudana, mashed sweet potato, crushed peanuts, chopped green chili, cumin seeds, chopped coriander leaves, and rock salt. Mix everything well to form a thick batter.
4. Heat a seasoned cast-iron skillet (tava) over medium heat. Grease it lightly with A2 ghee.
5. Take a ladleful of the sabudana batter and pour it onto the hot skillet. Spread it gently with the back of the ladle to form a round chilla, just like a pancake.
6. Drizzle some ghee around the edges of the chilla to ensure it cooks evenly.
7. Cook the chilla on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom side turns golden brown.
8. Carefully flip the chilla and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes until it becomes crisp and well-cooked.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make more chillas.
10. Serve the delicious and fasting-friendly Sabudana Chilla hot with any fasting chutney of your choice or enjoy it as it is.
