sabudana pakora – fasting or vrat recipe

sabudana pakora

sabudana pakora  – yet another snack that can be made during fasting or vrat days. these sabudana pakoras can be made for ekadashi fast or navratri fast or any other fasting days.

these pakoras are simple and easy to make and they also make for a nice breakfast or evening snack. i make these sometimes for an evening snack and we have them with tomato sauce or coriander chutney.

they are similar to the maharashtrian sabudana vada. just that i have added some kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour) in the pakora mixture and excluded some ingredients like lemon juice and coriander leaves.

apart from buckwheat flour, the other main ingredients in this recipe are sabudana or tapioca pearls, roasted peanuts, potatoes. the peanuts gives crunchy taste in between and add flavor.  potato and kuttu ka atta helps in binding the pakoras. apart from that kuttu ka atta also absorbs extra moisture, if any.

since i get pretty hard sabudana pearls here, i always soak them overnight. by morning they soften really well. so depending on the quality of the pearls, you can soak them overnight or for a few hours.

i have few more sabudana recipes on my blog which you might like to check like sabudana khichdi, sabudana thalipeeth and sabudana ladoo.
