Make Peanut mix
- Add ghee to a pan.
- Add green chilli and garlic and roast for a few minutes.
- Set aside.
- Roast peanuts in the same pan till peanuts turn crisp.
- Wash sabudana thoroughly and then soak in water for 6 hours. The level of water should be about 1/2 an inch above the sabudana. This will ensure that the soaked sabudana pearls remain intact. Too much water will make them mushy in the final recipe. After 6 hours, there should be no water left in sabudana.
- Heat ghee and add cumin seeds.
- Add finely grated beetroot and roast for about 5 minutes.
- Add soaked sabudana and continue to stir till the sabudana seeds turn translucent.
- Add salt and lime juice.
