Sabudana Vada



Sabudana Vada

Sabudana Vada is a popular Maharashtrian snack..Made of sago/sabudana and prepared mainly during fasting.

These crispy vadas simply melt in mouth and are very filling.

These vadas can be served with chutney or yogurt..I usually serve them with spicy yogurt.

Sabudana Vada with spicy yogurt

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sabudana
• 2 boiled, peeled and mashed potatoes
• 4-5 green chillies coarsely ground
• 3 table spoon roasted peanut powder
• 2 tea spoon sugar
• salt to taste
• 2 table spoon coriander leaves,finely chopped

Method:

Wash the sabudana and soak in water overnight (or) for about 4-5 hours. Make sure you add enough water to cover the sabudana. The water should be just half inch above sabudana. If you add too much water the sabudana may become sticky. After 4-5 hours sabudana will soak all the water and increase in size. Now the sabudana is ready to cook.

Mix together sabudana, mashed potato, green chilly paste, salt, sugar, roasted peanut powder and coriander leaves.Mix properly.

Make lemon sized balls and flatten them on your palms to make small patties.

Heat oil in a kadai and fry them till they turn golden brown.

Serve hot with Green coconut chutney or spicy yogurt.
