Sabudana Vada(Jawarisi vada)

Sabudana Vada is a new twist to our regular traditional vadas. A Maharashtrian dish known for its taste and texture. This is yet another nutritional snack from Maharashtra,India. An easy recipe,very simple to prepare for an evening snack. I really love the texture of this vada, very crispy outside and soft inside.  Like all vadas, it tastes great when served hot. Lets start with the recipe.

Ingredients :

Sabudana - 1 cup

Potato - 2 medium

Rice flour - 2 tablespoon

Green chillies - 4 nos

Red chilli powder - 1/2 tea spoon

Onion - 1 small

Coriander leaves - 1/4 cup

Chat masala - 1 teaspoon

Asafoetida (Hing) - 1 pinch

Salt to taste

Oil for frying.

Method :

Wash and soak sabudana for at least 3 hrs.After 3 hours of soaking ,remove the excess water from sabudana and keep it aside. Now peel the skin of potatoes and grate them in a bowl. I use raw potato instead of boiled one as the boiled ones tends to absorb more oil.  Now add Sabudana, rice flour, red chilli powder, green chillies, onion, coriander leaves ,asafoetida, chat masala and salt to the potato mixture. Now mix till it becomes like a dough  and make small dumplings like vada. Fry them in oil in medium heat until golden brown like all vadas.
