* All you will have is puffed up and non- sticky sabudana pearls.

* Heat oil in a skillet. Add peanuts.

* Roast them, continually stirring for about 5 minutes until they are nicely golden. Once cooked, transfer to a plate and set aside.

* To the same pan, add diced potatoes. Sauté for 3-4 minutes on a medium flame or until soft and tender.

* Return the previously cooked peanuts to the pan.

* Add curry leaves and all the spices. Mix to combine.

* Lower the flame to the lowest setting and stir in the soaked sabudana.

* Mix until combined. Cook sabudana for a few minutes until most of the sabudana pearls become translucent. Stirring occasionally.

* Take it off the heat and serve hot.
