Hindus who maintain religious fasts especially once a week or during special festive seasons tend to prepare Sabudana/Sago/Tapioca pearls in this form.
It is a delicious snack with a great texture. It is crunchy on the outside and soft inside.

Kadai or non-stick pan

Wash the sabudana. Drain and keep aside for about 6-7 hours.
After soaking, the sabudana will have increased in volume, by about 2 times. Set aside.
Mix the sabudana along with all the other ingredients and knead lightly to form a soft dough.
Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round and flatten slightly.
Deep-fry the vadas in hot oil until they are golden brown in colour and drain on absorbent paper.
Sabudana vada should be crunchy on the outside and soft inside.
Serve hot with green chutney or Dahi.
Tip
The frying oil needs to be sufficiently hot, or else the Vadas will turn out greasy and may break into pieces while cooking.
