Mashkai......

Well... there are times that u feel that things are meant to happen...


Remember the times that granny said it wont happen till its supposed to... well there is a time for everything...

We all really thought its gonna happen yesterday... we were all scared.. excited... anticipating.. all emotions packed into us... but then it dint.... conclusion.... how could it happen without her mashkai being fulfilled... ma had to make sabudana upma for her...

Well , so here it is... i'm gonna call it mashkai from now on....

  • Nicely wash the sabu dana and soak in water for a half an hour...

  • Drain it in a colander for another half hour... once all the water has drained away... put it into a flat spread out dish and keep it in the fridge to chill...

  • Chop up the onions and green chilies.

  • Wash , peel and dice the potatoes.




  • Heat up the oil in the kadhai and splutter the cumin seeds.


  • Add the onions and green chili and saute till translucent
.


  • Once done add the potatoes and the turmeric powder.

  • To the chilled sabu dana add, chopped coriander, grund peanuts, a little bit of salt and sugar.
Note : Remember, salt is a food enhancer...


  • Finally add it to the kadhai and toss for a couple of minutes and then cover and cook on sim for about 5 minutes and then remove from the flame and add lemon juice and mix.
  • Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and shredded coconut.











Serve Hot.... Enjoy her Mashkai ! ! ! :)
P.S. : And ya now i'm sure it can happen any time... Mashkai jo pura hogaya.....
