Now enjoy your favorite Sabudana Vada made in Air Fryer with just very little oil. Air-Fried Sabudana Vada are healthy way to enjoy your favorite snack on fasting days or as breakfast or evening snack with a hot cup of masala chai.
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.
I always made deep fried Sabudana Vada but from the time I bought my Instant Pot Air Fryer, I now make it Air Fried way only. My kids too don;t mind munching on the air fried version. Though the texture won't be the same like the deep fried ones. But we now have a healthy way to enjoy these!
It requires very less oil, just about 1-2 tbsp and gives us more reason to enjoy one of our favorite sacks quite often.

How to have/serve Sabudana Vada
Air Fried Sabudana Vada taste best when served hot and fresh. JUST OUT of the AIR FRYER. You can re-heat in air fryer for about 2-3 mins. if you want to finish the leftover vadas.
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.
