Sabudhana Vada
Sabudana 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 Sabudana 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.Sabudana is called as sago in English, Javvarisi in Tamil, Sabakki in Kannada and sabudana in hindi.Check my other recipes with SagoOnion Sago papad / Vengaya Javvarisi VadamSago fritters/Javvarisi vadam/Sabudhana PapadSabudhana Kichadi
