Tapioca Pearl - Sago fritters more commonly called 'Sabudana Vada ' is a delicious deep-fried snack that I got introduced to a 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. Usually, I use sago to make 'sago khichadi ' (pilaf) and always have stock of it at home.
How did I make Sabudana Vada (Sago fritters)?
Initially, I was a bit hesitant to try making the fritters, as I was not sure how it would turn out, whether it would hold up well or crumble while frying. After watching a couple of recipes and instructions online, I got to make 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 🙂
