Recipe Notes

- Soaking is Key: Proper soaking of the sabudana is crucial for the right texture. Insufficient soaking will result in hard, crunchy pearls.
- Don't Overcook: Overcooked sabudana will become mushy. Cook until just tender and slightly firm to the bite.
- Spice it Up: Adjust the amount of red chili powder to suit your preference for spice level. Add a pinch of garam masala for extra flavor.
- Garnish Generously: Fresh coriander leaves provide a refreshing contrast to the warm spices and enhance the overall presentation.
