Important few tips for making good sabudana khichdi:

1. Wash the sabudana pearls in a colander under running water until you feel that all starch is rinsed and washed off.

2. Transfer the washed and drained sabudana to a casserole and sprinkle with little water, just enough to ensure that they are damp.

3. Cover the casserole tight and leave them overnight.

4. In the morning while you prepare for seasoning etc., check on the soaked sabudana and if required you can sprinkle little more water and leave for 30 mins more.

5. Have the peanuts roasted and ground to granules well before. Just before you start cooking, mix the peanut granules and salt with sabudana and rub the pearls well with the mixture.

6. Leave it for about 5 mins. and then add it to the seasoning you have prepared.

Onion-Tomato veggie is quite popular in Punjab and North-India. This is one of my favorite veggie because their taste is authentic and take very less time to prepare :) I made this sabzi mostly with yellow dal fry, both are compatible with each other. 

Whenever,  I am bored of having daily veggies and lentils, then I usually prepare this, me and my husband love to have this veggie with roti or paratha. In this recipe, two veggies stir fried in a oil with few herbs and spices. It took a whole new taste.

It is made up of very less ingredients again and a very simple but yummy recipe. I named it as "Jhatpat" recipe. It's an easy vegetarian dish, which you can prepare in few minutes only. This tasty recipe is serve with chapatti, lachha paratha or any bread. 

For a combination of tomato and onion can only form the base and needs to have the core ingredient. But when you had it, I am sure you did ask for more.
