Method
- 1 Wash the sabudana pearls under running water until the water runs clear and the excess starch is gone.
- 2 Soak in just enough water to cover the pearls for 4 hours; they should feel like soft clouds when pressed.
- 3 Heat ghee in a small pressure cooker or pan until it shimmers slightly and smells like toasted butter.
- 4 Add the diced potatoes and sauté for 2 minutes until the edges look slightly translucent.
- 5 Stir in the soaked sabudana and cumin powder, mixing until the pearls are coated in the fragrant ghee.
- 6 Add one cup of water and pressure cook for 3 whistles until the sabudana turns completely transparent and soft.
- 7 Mash the mixture with a spoon until it reaches a smooth, velvety consistency that ribbons off the spoon.
- 8 Allow it to cool to a lukewarm temperature before serving to your baby.
