{Recipe} Sabudana Vada

"Sabudana"in Marathi or Hindi and sago in English. Sago or Sabudana are the small white pearls either big or small in size are extracted starch from the Tapioca roots which is also known as Cassava roots. Sabudana is used to prepare variety of savory and sweet dishes but mainly prepared dish is sabudana vada which is traditional deep fried snack of Maharashtra and its prepared during their fasting days. Sabudana Vada is crispy snack, healthy and has common ingredients available in our pantry. It can be a great Tea Time snack, served Hot with Chai and side can be spicy green chutney or with Tomato sauce too. Sabudana Vada's Turns to be crispy from out side and its best to consumed when hot .

                               

• To prepare perfect Sabudana vada, make sure to soak Sabudana overnight with 1:1 water ratio and morning you will get nice flowing pearls but also nicely soften.
• Potatoes have to boiled and grated so you can mashed them well with Sabudana.
• Use Roasted and coarsely ground peanuts because you don't want very big pieces of peanuts to come in your mouth.
• Make sure to keep the medium stove flame and oil shouldn't be very hot otherwise you will get burnt vada and for this reason proper heat will give you crisp Vada from outside and soft from inside.
  

  

Since Sabudana is prepared as fasting snack by the Hindu Community so they avoid  using garlic but in my recipe I have added crushed Garlic along with ginger, all other ingredients remain the same.

So lets start with the recipe of Crispy delicious Sabudana Vada's or the Sago Fritters .
