Sabudana Upma / Sago Upma

This sahudana upma or called javvarisi upma in tamil is not so famous dish . First time my hubby had this dish when he was in college and again when I made it. I got this recipe from my sister. This is a different to the one they usually make with potatoes, this dish is made with moong daal. I would consider this one as a snack rather than a full meal. This is very good for evening snack and can be made quickly provided you have soaked the sabudana is advance . Try this upma and you would really enjoy this snack.

Ingredients:

Sago/sabudana/javvarisi - 1 cup

Yogurt - 1/2 cup

Yellow Moong daal - 1/4 cup

Ginger chopped - 1 tsp

Green Chili - 2 slit

Mustard - 1 tsp

Curry leaves - 5

Salt as required

Oil - 2tsp

Cilantro

Procedure:

Soak sago in yogurt and little water for nearly 4 to 5 hrs and drain the excess water. Boil the moong daal ,make sure its cooked but not over cooked not mushy. Heat oil in a non-stick pan and season it with mustard and curry leaves. Add green chilies and ginger and fry for a min. Add the soaked sago and keep mixing it until it turns transparent ,now add cooked moong daal and salt and give a good mix. Garnish with cilantro. This tastes yummy by itself. Enjoy!!!
