About the post

Sabudana Thalipeeth is gluten-free flatbread made with soaked Tapioca Pearls. It is a Maharashtrian delicacy which is popular as a breakfast item and during the fasting days like Navratri and Ekadashi.

Nowadays, it is one of the favorite fasting dishes that is made not only by Maharashtrians but all the Indians all over the world. Thanks to the social media influence through which people are now getting introduced to not only regional cuisines but also the International ones.

Recipes for fasting days

Sabudana is a very handy ingredient that used especially during fasting days to make a variety of dishes. In Northern India, Navratri the nine day festival where many keep fasts. Mom used to make Kuttu ke Pakore, Poori, Sabudana Khichdi, Aloo aur Makhane Ka Raita and Makhana Kheer. When I moved to Mumbai, from my house help I learned how to make perfect Maharashtrian style Sabudana Vada(Deep Fried) and Sabudana Khichdi. She also showed me how to make Sabudana Thalipeeth for fasting, but after moving from Mumbai, I really never made it. My kids and hubby like Sabudana Vadas so most of the time I end up making these. Now with Air fryer , I can make guilt-free Sabudana Vadas in Air Fryer, in very less oil which taste as good as the deep fried Sabudana Vadas.

Sabudana Thalipeeth for Navratri Fasting

It had been a while since I had Sabudana Thalipeeth. While discussing for some another theme a few days back with my co-blogger friend Archana Sabudana Thalipeeth came up. She graciously shared her recipe with me. I followed her recipe, only I didn't add coconut. Also I made mini sabudana thalipeeth that I easily made in my first trial.

Check Out Archana's recipe here..

With the recipe ingredients I made about 6 mini Sabudana Thalipeeth. I had my fast today, so I made made some extra that me and hubby enjoyed with our tea with a yogurt mint dip. Kids too liked the pancake version of Sabudana Vada as they called it. The ingredients are same as the Sabudana Vada, so you can now make not 1 but two different recipes using the same dough.

Ingredients

• Soaked Sabudana-- Wash sabudana multiple times and then soak it in just enough water for about 5-6 hrs or overnight. Before using, strain the water through a sieve, let it stand in sieve for a few mins, till most of the extra is drained.
• Roasted Peanuts-- You can roast peanuts, and then coarsely grind. You can deskin it, I used it just like that.
• Boiled Potatoes- Potatoes are required for binding and to give volume and taste.
• Cumin Seeds, Fresh Cilantro/Coriander, Ginger and Green Chillies, Sugar and Lemon juice- To enhance the taste.
• Salt as per taste.

Sabudana/Tapioca Pearls, Fresh Curry Leaves are available at all the Indian Grocery stores.
