I can't express in words how much I love eating this. Usually Indians eat sabudana during fasting but they are so gud that I can keep fast just to eat them :) I tried to make them several time and failed to make the way ladies make in our home but finally I made it and that to in Microwave. No more sticky sabudana.......There are lot of ways to make them but I love this Maharastrian style.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Soaked Sabudana/Tapioca--I usually soak them overnight and to see best results, soak them in water and just leave little extra water above sabudana. More water will result into lumpy sabudana. Next day if you feel they are overdried, sprinkle little water.
• 3/4 cup Roasted coarsely grinded peanuts
• little oil
• couple of Kadi patta/Curry Leaves
• 1 small boiled potatoe cut in cubed
• 1/2 tsp jeera/cumin seeds
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp chopped Green chili
• 1/2 lime squeezed
• 1/4 tsp red chili pwd
• 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
• salt as per taste 

Direction

• Gently mix Sabudana with Peanuts, Salt, Sugar, chilli powder and potatoe.
• In microwave safe bowl add little oil, Cumin seeds, Curry leaves and Green Chilli and microwave for 1 minute.
• Add Sabudana mix now and microwave for 2-3 minutes take a break for couple of minutes and microwave again for 2-3 minutes. Repeat this process 1 more time and they should be cooked properly now. Based on you microwave adjust time.
• Garnish with Coriander leaves and server with Dahi/Plain yougurt if you like or squeez Lemon.

  Enjoy!

One of my favourite dish made out of leftover Chapatis. Spicy & quick

 Ingredients:

• 5 Ready chapattis(I usually leftover chapatis)
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil 
• 1 tsp Red chilli powder 
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder 
• 2 Tomatoes 
• 1 Garlic 
• 2 Green chillies 
• Chopped coriander leaves 
• Salt to taste

This is classic receipe in our house. This is one of my favorite snack Receipe because it very tasty, quick and Spicy :)

Ingredients:

• 1 Finely Chopped Tomatoe
• 1 Finely Chopped Onion
• Salt
• 1/2 t sp. Chilli Powder
• 1/2 t sp. Garam Masala
• 1/2 t sp. Cumin Powder
• 1/2 t sp. Chaat Masala
• Fresh Coriander  Chopped
• Wheat Bread 8 Slices

Direction:

Mix all ingredients in bowl nicely except Bread. If possible try to mash it with hand. Please do not grind it. Spread this masala/mixture over one bread Slice and cover it with another slice and cook it in Sandwich Maker. If you don't have Sandwich Maker, Heat Skillet, add little oil if needed and cook sandwich on it. Turn sandwich after 1 minute and cook another side. If you want it dark and toasty, keep thali/plate over sanwich and keep some heavy box/pressure cooker over plate/thali while sandwich is on Skillet/Tava. Usually Sandwich maker does a good job and its pretty inexpensive. I bought few years back for $10 or so from Target.

This is my friends "Stanley's Idea". if I won't name him, I won't be able to contribute anymore because I will be dead. I have done some modifications too it, to make it more deliecious. I like this receipe because its quick, tasty and it has Broccoli which has good nutritional value.

Ingredients:

• Broccoli Sliced - 1
• Small Onion long sliced- 2
• Tomatoe - 1
• Eggs - 4
• Coriander leaves - few
• Coriander Powder - 1 t sp
• Cumin Powder - 1 t sp
• Chilli Powder -  1/2 t sp
• Salt
• Garam Masala - 1/2 t sp
• Cumin seeds - 1/2 t sp
• Oil - 1 tb sp
• Garlic- 3 cloves

First cook Broccoli in half of the oil mentioned above. Once it done, take it out of pan and keep it aside. In same pan add oil and when oil is heated add cumin seeds and onions. Once onion turns light brown add tomatoe and smashed Garlic . Cook them till tomatoe becomes soft completely. If I am out of tomatoe, I usually add Hunt Tomatoe puree 1/3 of small can. Add Coriander powder, Chilli, salt and Cumin powder. Cook for few more minutes. Now Break eggs and add in pan, keep stirring . When eggs are half cooked, add broccoli to it. Try to fold broccoli in eggs as much as you can. Add garam masala and keep stirring until eggs are cooked completely. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with Rice or chappati.

Enjoy!
