SABUDANA VADA, SAGO VADA,SAGO PATTIES


This is a filling snack served during festivals & when observing a fast. It is an easy and tasty vrat ka khana. 

INGREDIENTS:

Sago (Javvarisi / sabudana) 1 cup
Potatoes- 2  medium

Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp.
Roasted peanut - 1/2 cup
Green chillies - 3
Chopped coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons
Lemon juice - 11/2 teaspoons
Salt  - to taste
Oil - to deep fry

METHOD:

Clean sabudana without mud and stones, wash gently two or three times and drain the water completely. Now pour in VERY LITTLE WATER, JUST TO COVER OR IMMERSE THE SAGO AND KEEP ASIDE FOR 2 HOURS. Rake the sago gently with a fork once an hour. After 2 hours, separate the sago pearls gently with your hand. By this time the sago would have absorbed all the water. It will be moist but no trace of water will be there. 


Boil and mash potatoes. Finely chop green chillies. Coarsely grind peanuts. Keep aside.

Mix together sabudana, mashed potatoes, peanuts, cumin seeds, green chillies, coriander leaves, lemon juice and salt. Mix well without any lumps. 

Make small balls out of the mixture (It can also be shaped as patties). Heat oil in a kadai. Ensure medium heat and deep fry vadas till golden brown. Serve piping hot with ketchup or any chutney and a cup of tea.
