Comments

Sabudana / Sago Vada is one of the popular Maharashtrian recipes made during Navaratri fasting(vrat). This is the first time I am trying my hands at this vada recipe should say it was a hit at home. I made it today morning,served it as a 11AM snack...and couldnt wait to share so here I am writing this post :) I saw this recipe from a cookbook that I borrowed long back, jotted down the recipe and tried it today. I loved the crispy outside and the soft inside...perfect to much as a snack.
