Sabudana vada recipe aka jawarisi vadai is a famous deep fried snack with tapioca pearls and boiled potatoes.A popular snack for navratri fasting.
1.The recipe I have given here uses rock salt and no flour is used for binding as fasting recipe was requested.You can add normal salt but rock salt is fabulous in this recipes.It adds a sharp chaat taste and flavor.
2.These vadas take a little more time to cook.
3.While soaking tapioca pearls,just add enough water,if you add too much water,sago may turn pasty.
4.After draining,keep the pearls covered for 15-20 minutes to remove the excess moisture.
5.If you find the mixture very loose to shape you may add rice flour/rava but rice flour should not be added if you are making this recipe for fasting.
6.We had it with tomato ketchup,but I think even that should be avoided while fasting.
