1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon red chilli powder

Salt to taste

Ghee or oil for cooking

Instructions:

• Soak the sabudana in water for about 2-3 hours until they become soft. Drain the water and keep it aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the soaked sabudana, mashed potatoes, coriander leaves, green chillies, cumin seeds, red chilli powder and salt. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.
• Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into balls.
• Take a ball of dough and roll it into a small disk using a rolling pin and some dry flour.
• Heat a tawa (grill plate) or non-stick pan and place the rolled paratha on it.
• Fry the paratha on medium heat until golden brown spots appear on both sides, applying ghee or oil as required.
• Repeat the process with the remaining balls of dough to make more parathas.
• Serve hot with yoghurt, pickle or any chutney of your choice.

Sabudana Paratha is not only a tasty dish but also provides a good source of energy and essential carbohydrates from the sabudana. The addition of potatoes gives the dish a creamy texture and complements the tapioca pearls perfectly.

Sabudana is often recommended during times of illness or digestive problems. Why? Because it is gentle on the digestive system, soothes the stomach lining and can relieve the symptoms of indigestion and hyperacidity.

Another important benefit of consuming sabudana is that it can provide you with plenty of energy to get you through the day. The starch and sugar present in sabudana help in the formation of glucose providing you with a good amount of energy.
