Javarisi | sago 1 cup Oil 3 tsp Peanuts 2 tsp Mustard 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp Carrot little (optional) Lemon juice 1 tsp Green chili 1-2 Salt as needed Curry leaves few
Wash the javarisi | sago nicely and soak it in little water , just to immerse it, for 1 hour. Later drain the water and keep it in a colander. Sprinkle little water and keep it overed for 2 hours. You can skip this step but this will be perfect . Mix the turmeric powder with this soaked sago, so that while cooking it will be evenly mixed.
In a pan add oil and mustard seeds, peanuts and chopped green chilis. Add the finely chopped carrots(if adding). Even adding peanuts is optinal but i love to add in upmas.
Add the soaked and drained sago to this and cook in a very low flame.
Add salt to this. Cook for 5 minutes in a low flame without getting it burnt. The sago will turn glossy. Be careful not to form it into a lumpy mass. Switch off the flame and add the lemon juice to this. Mix well. Add curry leaves.
Serve this always hot, else it will become soggy.
