Learn how to make sabudana vada with detailed step-by-step recipe. Easy and delicious fasting recipe.

Sabudana vada is a very popular dish in Maharashtrian cuisine. It is one of my favorite snacks that can be made for Hindu fasting days or an evening snack too. Nowadays, it is also served as street food in some parts of Maharashtra.

Sabudana vada is made with tapioca pearls (sago), potatoes, peanuts, and some basic spices. This recipe gives you a perfect Sabudana Vada that is crispy from outside with a soft and light texture from inside.

To make a perfect sabudana vada, soaking of sabudana plays a vital role. Always soak sabudana with an equal amount of water. I like to serve my sabudana vadas with peanut chutney but it can also be served with green chutney, plain sweetened curd, or tomato sauce.
