Tapioca Pearl – Sago fritters more commonly called ‘Sabudana Vada ‘ is a delicious deep fried snack which I got introduced to couple of years back .I was intrigued by some of the awesome pictures online during the festive season recently  and had the urge to try making it at home . I usually use sago to make ‘sago khichadi ‘ (pilaf) and always have stock of it at home . I was a bit hesitant to try making the fritters at first, as I was not sure how it would turn out , whether it would hold up well or crumble while frying . After watching couple of recipes and  instructions online , I got to making it .I was surprised that it was quite easy to make and tasted awesome as well! Tapioca is a rich source of dietary fiber, “good cholesterol”  and protein and has many more vitamins and minerals. It is considered a favorite of many vegetarians as it is a pure starch food that is high in protein in spite of being a vegetable.Hope you are inspired to attempt making  this dish if you have not already tried it! Enjoy 🙂
