Sabudana Vada Recipe also known as sabudana tikki, is a traditional deep fried snack popular across the country. Sabudana Vada is often served with spicy coriander chutney along with hot chai and is best eaten fresh. Sabudana Vada is a great snack option for the occasions like Navratri, when people prefer consuming sattvic food. Sabudana Vadas have a crunchy exterior and the mouth melting inside filling, leaving taste buds craving for more. At home, we all equally enjoy Sabudana Vada and often it is in the breakfast menu. During a routine day Sabudana Vada is combined with onion, garlic, ginger and green chili to prepare the cutlet. If you are making Sabudana Vada for a sattvic feast then you can combine the soaked sabudana with sweet potato or colocasia roots (arbi).
Last week on a rainy Sunday morning, I prepared Sabudana Vada for the breakfast. With some min burger buns sitting on the bread basket, we sandwiched Sabudana Tikki in between the fresh burger buns along with a generous slathering of bread and tomato ketchup. The whole combination turned out to be a fulfilling Sunday brunch and was well praised by every one in the family. Though it was a nit of calorie and carb. over loaded but we excuse ourselves from the routine healthy diet for rare Sunday brunches like this one.
