I’m afraid there is no alternate to fresh curry leaves. You can omit it for this dish. Whenever you get hold of fresh curry leaves, buy a huge bunch and sun dry and store in refrigerator.

Hello Sailu,

I tried this dish today and it was delicious! However, what do you recommend as alternative to fresh curry leaves? They are hard to get in Berlin, Germany. I used a teaspoon of mild Madras curry power instead, which tasted fine. But maybe you come up with a better idea?

All best,

Dina

Sometimes, it does come out rubbery since sago yields that texture. You can sprinkle little water and toss about till absorbed. Do not place lid.

Hi Sailu

I tried out this recipe to the T. It was tasty. However it was very dry and rubbery. We could not eat it. It was too dry. any idea what went wrong. Did I have to add some water and/or cover the pan and cook.
I followed step 4 in the recipe the way it was mentioned

thanks

Hi Sailu,
Wondering why have you placed this under Ayurvedic recipes? Though it is eaten during Vrat, sago has alomost no nutritional value (it being made from leftover of tapioca). let me know if you have any info about the nutritional property.

hi sailu

tried this out but the sago was so tough. shd it stand in a little water atleast overnight? and also the peanut mix was a bit too much. i think it shd be measured after its pounded. can we boil the sago in case its very tough still?

shobha

If you find that the sago is still tough, sprinkle some water in the morning and let it sit for one or two hours before preparation. Or you could let it stand in a little water overnight. Peanut mix can be adjusted according to individual taste. I haven’t tried boiling, Shoba, try it out next time and see how it works.

Thanks a ton for the great tip below the recipe. I used to always make the kichdi and it turned out rubbery coz I used to cover it. I finally got it! Thanks to you.
Great website and even greater pictures

Good job Sailu. I went to india recently and found this website thru a friend. http://www.needgrub.com. It was a great resource for me to locate and choose the eatery of my dreams. Thought I would share this with you all.
