Crispy Sabudana Wada

We used to visit our Grandparents and other family back home in Kerala during the Summer Vacations... 

My father always packed 2 ingredients Sabudana or Sago Rice and Groundnuts while packing the luggage.  He used to make these crispy crunchy Wada's which melted in the mouth.  This was a new dish introduced by my father to all our relatives in Kerala.  

Every  one enjoyed this traditional deep fried snack of Maharashtra which was served with Green Chutney or Coconut Chutney.

It was Mahashivratri yesterday and I made this  popular dish which is served during fasting.  A quick glance at how this dish is prepared

Ingredients :

Sabudana - 2 cups

Crushed green chillies - 2 tbsp

Groundnut Powder - 1 cup

Raw Potato washed peeled and grated - 1/2 cup

Green Corriander leaves - 2 tbsp

Salt to taste

Ghee + Oil - for deep frying

Method :

Wash the Sabudana and soak it with very little water for around 3 hours.  If you add lot of water the dough will stick to your hands.  Mix all other ingredients up to salt and make a dough.  Make lemon size balls and pat them like tikki.  Deep fry this till golden brown.  You may serve this with Curd or Coconut Chutney.
