Sabudana vada recipe – Easy to undersand with step by step pictures, a vrat ka khana!
Sabudana vada is one of the most famous snack in Maharashtra. I have been to Pune once, but I feel really bad that I missed to taste this once to know this authentic taste of the vada. My little co-sis have told it will be really delicious as the live in Pune. I was thinking to try this for long time but never had a recipe, Finally my friend Sangeeta read my mind seems, she sent the picture of sabudana vada through whats app, that she made for a get together dinner. I really drooled over it. I asked for recipe and she sent it immediately, I was surprised by the simplicity of the recipe.

After trying sabudana kichdi, a similar ingredients for this as well, but I liked this one better, obviously, its deep fried, so sure it will be tastier. It is one of the vrat ka khana, so as Navratri is fast approaching, this would help many of you for making get together or for your family’s evening snack. Its soft from inside and crispy outside, just no one can stop eating. Too good to resist!

Sabudana vada recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Snack
Prep Time: 3 hrs    |  Cook time: 25 mins    |  Serves: 20  vadas
Click here to read this recipe in tamil

Ingredients

Sago – 1 cup


Potato – 2, small


Peanut – 1/4 cup


Green chilli – 2, chopped


Coriander leaves, chopped – 2 tbsp


Lemon juice – 2 tsp


Rice flour* – 1 tbsp


Salt – As needed


Oil – for deep frying 

*Avoid when fasting

Method

  1. Soak sago for 3 – 4 hrs. My sago is black pepper sized. Depending on the size, the soaking time will differ. Cook potato just right as well.
  2. Step 1 sabudana vada recipe

  3. Roast the peanuts in medium flame to ensure even roasting. Cool down.If its with skin, remove skin.
  4. Step 2 sabudana vada recipe

  5. Powder coarsely. Squeeze the sago properly, with out mashing it, peel potato, mash it, place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  6. Step 3 sabudana vada recipe

  7. Mix everything, no need to add any water. It will form a dough together.
  8. Step 4 sabudana vada recipe

  9. Make equal sized balls out of it and if you want you can make patties too ready and arrange in a plate while the oil is getting heated.Slide the patties and deep fry in medium flame.
  10. 5-shape

  11. Cook both sides golden brown. Drain in paper towel.Step 6 sabudana vada recipe

Notes

    • Soak just right, not too long. If you press the soaked sago in between two fingers, the centre should be soft.
    • Overcooking will make the potatoes retain water and make the vada sticky and soggy.
    • Make sure the oil is hot while you drop the patties and later cook in medium flame to ensure even cooking.
    • Sago should be more and the potatoes is just to bind it together. So Use only one potato if its medium sized, mine was very small. so used 2.
    • Rice flour is for crispiness, do not skip it.
    • Use good quality sago, and minimum use the size I have used or more than that.

Serve hot, can have as such, if you want, try green chutney as side dish. The peanuts add a nice texture for this vada.

    You mean the sago bursted? May be sago did not soaked well? Or you made the vada by pressing too tight.

    Hi Raji,

    I wish to try this vadai for my daughter's birthday this month.
    My daughter is allergic to peanuts! Can you please reply if it's okay to skip the peanuts in the recipe without compromising on the taste and crispiness ?

    Thank You!

    Tried this vada but sago started to separate and the vada lost its shape. Pls can you suggest what might have gone wrong.

      Hi Anu,
      This means the binding agent is less and sago was more. Potato, rice flour can be increased until it binds well. Also if water content is more, it could separate in oil. If you are fine, add more rice flour.
