Sabudhana Vada
Sabudhana Vada is a popular Maharashtrian snack that is deep fried and served with green chutney. In other parts of India, it is consumed mostly during fasting or vrat. But I always love to make it in Appam pan which consumes very little ghee. I had this appam made Sabudhana vada in BARC hospital for the first time when we went for my FIL’s eye operation. From that time we started loving this recipe and mostly I make it on ekadasi day. This is one of the popular Vrat recipe and can be included during Navrathri time. This is so easy to make as well as filling. Hence it is one of the best recipes to eat during fasting.
Sabudhana is called as sago in English, Javvarisi in Tamil, Sabakki in Kannada and sabudana in hindi.

Thank you
Sabudana vada in appe pan! I love it I don’t know why I did not think of it. 😀 Will definitely love to make mine in the appe pan. Thanks for the idea.
Thank you
Thats a good idea to use the appe pan to get the vada cravings yet not feel guilty
Thank you
Niranjana interesting that you add rice flour to sabudana vada when enjoyed for fasting. We aren’t allowed to use any grains or cereals, pulses, beans. I too make sabudana vada in an appe pan… so much less oil required. Love them.
Yeah aunty, I have seen people avoid using that in North India. Here we avoid only onion, garlic and garam masala on fasting days. In fact we have chappathi on ekadashi. But I make this recipe without rice flour too.
Its nice to know different traditions from different parts of India.
Sabudana vada looks so crisp and crunchy. A lovely treat for all Sabudana lovers like me. I liked the way you have added rice flour to the vada. You are tempting me to make them soon.
Thank you Preethi.
I like you low oil version of making vadas in appe pan.. guilt free snack with tea and chutney.. also never added rice flour for binding, will try it this way, it must have added more crunch to vadas.
Thank you swathi
One of the favourite snacks, these are tasty. I make them in appe pan too and they are guilt free snack. Yummy snack with a cup of masala tea.
