Today is Sankashti Chaturthi and many of you might be fasting. For those of you who are bored with eating the regular Sabudana Khichdi, here is a nice, easy and tasty alternative. It is called the Maharashtrian Farali Misal. When mixed with shengdanyachi usual / peanut curry, boiled potato bhaji, butter milk and farali potato chivda the sabudana khichdi assumes an altogether different avtar which we call the upwasachi misal. Sharing here the recipe for all of you...

A handful of fresh coriander leaves
Method:
1) Soak the Peanuts in water for atleast 7-8 hours. Drain out the water in which they are soaked, add 1 cup of fresh water and pressure-cook to 8-10 whistles. The peanuts should become nice and tender.

3) Add the peanuts powder, salt to taste and sugar. Mix well.
4) Cover with a lid and cook for around 8-10 minutes. Add little water if required (if the Usal has become too dry)

3) In a plate put spoonful of Potato bhaji, Khichdi and Peanuts curry. Squeeze in a wedge of Lemon, sprinkle Farali Potato Chiwda and chopped coriander leaves and add 2-3 tbsp of butter milk. Serve immdiately.
You can also serve Khamang Kakdi (Cucumber Salad) as side dish with Farali Misal. To make Khamang Kakdi, grate 2 cucumbers, squeeze out the juice of the grated cucumber and put it in a bowl. Add 2 chopped green chillies, 2 tbsp of roasted peanut powder or danyacha kut, 1 tsp sugar, salt to taste and juice of ½ lemon. In a small skillet. Heat ghee and add 1 tsp cumin seeds. Pour this tempering over the grated cucumber. Mix well and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
