Sabudana Vada (Sago Patties)

          Sabudana vada is a popular and traditional snack from Maharashtra, India. Sago or Sabudana is a common ingredient that is used in some recipes made during the fast and recipes like Sabudana Khichdi, Sabudana Vada, Sabudana Kheer are made. Sabudana kichidi and vada are most common dishes made during fasting time. It is very easy to make with very little preparation.

Tips #

The Sabudana/Sago has to be really soaked well. Not even a little hardness should be left in the sago.I used small size sabudana if you used big size sabudana then it soaked for 6 hours.

The water needs to be drained well. Use a seive or a colander to drain the water. The sabudana vada mixture is dry.

If there is moisture in the mixture, then you won’t get a proper shape of the sabudana vadas and they will become soggy from inside.

The oil has to be neither too hot nor warm. If its hot, the vadas will burn from outside leaving the inside portion
uncooked. If warm, the vadas will absorb oil, making the vadas loaded with oil.
