Sabudana Vada is a crispy delicious snack made by deep frying spiced sabudana and potato cutlets. This is traditionally a Maharashtrian recipe, but is now widely enjoyed across other parts of the country as well.
Sabudana vada is a popular recipe for vrats/fasts as it contains no onion and garlic. Sabudana (also known as sago or tapioca) is one of the most common ingredients used for making recipes for vrats during festivals like Navratras.

Step By Step Instructions With Photos For Sabudana Vada Recipe
Soak 1 cup of Sabudana (Tapioca) in water overnight for 5-6 hours. When they have become soft, drain all the water using a colander.
Boil, peel and mash 2 potatoes. Add them to a large mixing container along with the sabudana.
Roast and coarsely grind 1/2 cup of peanuts. Add these to the mixture as well.
Add Red Chilli Powder, Cumin Powder, Coriander Powder and Salt.
Also add 1-2 finely chopped green chillies, 1/2 teaspoon Cumin Seeds (Jeera) and 2 teaspoon lemon juice.
Mix all the ingredients well.
Divide them into small lemon sized portions and shape them into round flat patties.
Fry the patties in medium hot oil till they turn golden brown. Do not set the heat to a high setting, otherwise the vadas will not get cooked properly from the inside. Drain the excess oil on an absorbent paper.
Sabudana Vadas are ready. Serve them hot with coriander chutney, tamarind chutney or tomato ketchup.

great recipe taste wise however, they did not hold together and started falling apart
Hey Anita, if the vadas are breaking apart, make sure that the sabudana has no moisture and add a spoon of corn flour if needed to absorb the moisture.
all recipes are good.
Thanks Madhu. 🙂
