October 8, 2020 Pallavi Bhat Leave a Comment

Sabudana Vada | How to make Sabudana Vada | Upvas (Vrat) Recipe – with step by step photos, description and video of the recipe is here. This is a Gluten free, vegan snack made from the tapioca pearls, roasted peanuts, boiled potatoes. Sabudana Vada or Sabudana Tikki or Sago cutlet is a popular fasting (Upvas) snack. it also a good evening snack.

Sabudana Vada

Firstly, as per the Hindu tradition, people fast during Shravan month Ekadashi & Navaratri. The food that is taken during the fasting does not contain onion, garlic, wheat products, lentils and pulses. Sabudana is rich in carbohydrates and is a good food option to feel fuller and satiated for a longer period of time. So here is the recipe of Sabudana Vada for fasting.

Furthermore, it is a popular dish in Maharashtrian cuisine, just like the sabudana khichadi, Sabudana Vada is also a famous dish in Maharastra as well as in the nearby states. this crunchy vada is known as Sago vada, javvarisi vadai, sabbakki vada & Sabudana Vada in various parts of India.

Most important part of making the Sabudana Vada is soaking well in water. Sago/sabudana has to be soaked well until all the sago pearls are soft but not sticking to each other. However you can prepare the roasted peanuts beforehand. so that it can save you some time while preparing.

Sabudana Vada

Some sabudana requires only 2-3 hours of soaking. but whatever I have used here was very hard and I soaked it for 5-6 hours. In-between I checked whether it requires extra water or not. Based on the type of Sabudana the amount of water required for soaking varies.

Coming to the serving part, these crispy and delicious snack tastes good with plain coconut chutney also, if you are serving during the fasting days.

If you are having it for snacks then serve it with a tomato ketchup or tamarind chutney.

Finally, before going to the recipe, I would like to highlight some of the other recipes here:
