Sabudana Vada is a popular Maharashtrian snack, often served with spicy green chutney and hot chai. It is a crisp fried snack made up of sabudana or Sago (Tapioca pearls), Peanuts, Potatoes and herbs.

Sabudana Vada is an excellent option when you are fasting. In India this filling and nutritious snack is usually served during religious festivals and during fast/ vrat / upvas especially during Navratri vrats. As per Hindu beliefs food that is taken during the fast should not contain Onions, garlic, pulses, or wheat flour. Like all Vada these are best eaten fresh.

These Sabudana Vadas are crisp from outside and soft from inside. In my family everyone enjoys eating Sabudana Vada.
