Today is
MahaShivaratri, which celebrates in honour of
Lord Shiva . So, today there is fasting food in my kitchen, a crunchy hot
Sabudana Vada, also called "sago vada", is a traditional deep fried snacks from Maharashtra . which often served with curd/chutney and masala chai.
Ingredients:---------------
- Sabudana:-------- 250gm ( washed and soaked overnight with little water)
- Peanuts:---------- 1 cup ( roasted and grated )
- Potatoes:------- -- 3-4 medium (boiled and mashed)
- Coriander:-------- 1/2 cup
- Cumin seeds:----- 1tbsp (roasted)
- green chilli's:------- 6-7 (depends on you taste)
- 1/2 lemon.
- soda 2 pinch.
- salt to taste.
- oil to fry.
Method:------------------
- In a big bowl add soaked sabudana, and mash it.
- Then add potatoes and grated peanuts. mix it roughly.
- Make a paste of coriander, cumin, green chilli (don't add water)
- Mix the mixture in sabudana bowl and mash it properly by adding salt and soda.
- When you want to make vada, squeeze lemon and make a small patty.
- Fry in medium flame of oil. Fry it till it changes colour.
Tips:---------------------
- Basically sabudana should soak atleast 6-7hrs, but if you want it within 2-3 hrs, then soak them in warm water.
- If you want to make vada's for kids don't put chilli, rest will be the same.
- You can add 2tbsp rice flour (will be not for fasting)
- Be careful, when your frying the vada's sometime they pop's in oil.
- While making a patty put some oil in your palm.
