Saggubiyam Vada

‘Sabudana’ aka ‘Sagubiyyam’ was one thing I use rarely since, the only recipe I know with this was ‘Payasam’ or ‘Kheer’ until Sandeepa (my friend) called me and said about this vada. It was really tasty to make and as always a quick fix, when planned in advance and soaked sabudana.

The crispy texture is always a favorite to every one.

Sabudana Vada Dough

Here is the recipe-

Ingredients

• 1 cup Sabudana (sago / Saggubiyyam)
• 3/4 cup All purpose flour (Maida)
• 1/2 cup Rice flour
• Salt to taste
• 1 small onion chopped
• 1/2 cup Sour curd (Optional)
• 2 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 tsp green chili paste ( 7 green chilies finely chopped)
• Few curry leaves
• Pinch of baking soda
• Oil to fry

Directions-

1. Soak sabudana in a mixture of curd or water for 2-3 hours or till soft.
2. In a Bowl, add soaked soft sabudana (sagubiyyam) and the rest of the ingredients, mix well.
3. Make medium sized balls, flatten them and fry them in hot oil till crisp and well cooked. (Always fry vadas on a medium flame. Cooking vada’s on high flame, makes the outer layer dark but inner portion of the vada stays uncooked)

Serve hot with chutney/sauce.

This recipe has only 3 simple steps which tell you how easy it is to make these vada’s. I Hope you all enjoy them.
