Traditional Deep Fried Sabudana Vada Recipe, Vegan and Gluten-free snack.

Sabudana Vadas fried cutlets made with soaked Sabudana/Sago pearls mixed and mashed with boiled potatoes and coarsely ground peanuts.

It is a popular Maharashtrian breakfast or evening time snack. It is also one of the popular food items that people in India make during the fasting days especially during Navaratri, Shivratri or Janmashtami.

Sabudana Vadas is something that was not a regular at mom's house though she made sabudana khichdi whenever she had fast, it was just a few times that she made these vadas. Years later, when I came to Mumbai after my marriage, I learned to make these vadas and sabudana khichdi from my house help who was a Maharashtrian. I make these during Navratri time when I fast, kids also like to have with some ketchup or chutney. For kid-friendly recipe omit green chillies.

How to have/serve Sabudana Vada

Sabudana Vadas are good to be served as snacks to guests with green chutney. I like having these with sweet yogurt, topped with green chutney or tamarind chutney. When making during fasting time, omit garlic from the chutney recipe. For the recipe of green chutney click here.

Sabudana is rich in starch or carbohydrates and is great for a quick boost of energy and so it is the main reason that people have it during fastings days..

Sabudana or Sago has a similar cooling effect like rice,has a cooling effect on the body system, and is given in the treatment of alignments due to excessive body heat.

Since it is a rich source of carbohydrates and low in fat and proteins and has a negligible amount of Vits. it is paired with rich and easily digestible sources of protein like peanuts / milk / veggies.

Sabudana flour or Tapioca flour is used in for gluten-free cooking and baking or for binding cutlets and tikkis.
