Sabudana snacks are not just healthier than wheat flour and rice flour batter options, but they're also easier to digest. They also pair well with desi masala and hearty ingredients like chillies, pepper, seasonal veggies etc. Here are some scrumptious sabudana snacks which are good for summer.
Sabudana vada is a crispy and savoury snack made by mixing soaked sabudana with mashed potatoes, ground peanuts, and spices, then shaping the mixture into patties and deep-frying them. These vadas are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside,
Sabudana thalipeeth is a type of flatbread made from soaked sabudana, mashed potatoes, and spices. The mixture is flattened into a thin disc and cooked on a griddle until golden brown. This savory flatbread is delicious when served with yogurt or a cucumber raita, which adds a refreshing element suitable for summer.
Sabudana papad is a crunchy snack made by mixing soaked sabudana with spices and flattening it into thin discs. These discs are then sun-dried and can be stored for later use. When needed, they can be deep-fried or roasted. The crispy texture and light flavor make sabudana papad a great snack to munch on during summer evenings.
Sabudana tikki is similar to sabudana vada but typically smaller and shaped like cutlets. Made from soaked sabudana, mashed potatoes, and spices, these tikkis are shallow-fried until golden and crispy. They are often served with a tangy tamarind chutney or a cool yogurt dip, providing a refreshing contrast that’s perfect for summer.
Sabudana upma is a savory dish that provides a delicious alternative to traditional upma. Soak the sabudana pearls until they are soft. In a pan, heat some oil and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and curry leaves. Sauté finely chopped onions, green chilies, and ginger until they are soft
Sabudana rolls are great for picnics or on-the-go munching. To prepare, soak the sabudana pearls until they are soft. Mix them with mashed potatoes, grated carrots, finely chopped green chilies, coriander leaves, and season with salt and spices like cumin powder and garam masala. You can either deep-fry these rolls until they are golden brown or bake them.
