Sabudana Vada is a traditional snack from Maharashtra, India. This
filling and nutritious snack is usually served during religious
festivals after a period of fasting. Made with tapioca
pearls (sago), potatoes, and peanuts, this snack is full of
carbohydrates and some protein, and is great if you're looking for a
quick boost of energy.
Grind the peanuts to a coarse powder, and add it to
the sabudana, along with turmeric powder, red
chilli powder, salt, mashed potato, green chillies, and cilantro,
and mix well.
Make small balls with this mixture (a little smaller
than a golf ball), flatten them a bit, and set aside.
Heat oil, and gently drop a small ball of the
sabudana to test the temperature of the oil. If the ball floats to the
top right away, the oil is hot enough. Fry the sabudana vadas until
golden brown.
Serve the sabudana vadas plain or with ketchup, and a
hot cup of tea or coffee.
