Sabudana Vada – crisp from outside and is soft and melts in mouth with occasional crunch of groundnuts. Often made during vrat (fasting), this delectable dish is also made as a snack to be devoured along with hot cups of masala chai, specially during the rainy months. A dish from the state of Maharashtra, it is also equally popular in southern states of India, and is known as Sagubiyyam Vadalu (Telegu) and Javvarisi Vadai (Tamil).
Tips
Remember to drop the vadas in hot oil but reduce the flame to medium and fry till they are golden – if fried on very high flame the vadas get brown/charred on the outside and the sabudana on the inside remains uncooked.
Heart Healthy
You can also make the Sabudana Vadas in Airfryer. Remember to line the bottom of airfryer drawer with an aluminum foil before putting vadas in else the vadas get stuck to the wire mesh of the airfryer drawer.
Sabudana Vada
Sabudana vada also called ‘sago vada’, is a traditional deep fried snack from Maharashtra, India. It is often served with spicy green chutney and along with hot chai and is best eaten fresh. In other parts of the country, Sabudana vada are the best option to have when fasting. Therefore, this filling and nutritious snack is served usually during religious festivals and during fast/vrat/upvaas especially in Navratri vrats. Like all vadas, these are best eaten fresh. Sabudana vadas are crunchy and simply melt in the mouth leaving the stomach full and the tongue craving for more. Source: Wikipedia
