Recipe for Sabudana(Tapioca Pearls) Vada

I was introduced to Sabudana vadas when we shifted to our new Home. These vadas
were and still are a favourite snack at most of our Building Flag Hoisting
ceremonies and Building Meetings. The best part about these vadas are that it is
fried and served to us on the spot and that is what made this one of my
favourite vegetarian snacks!

Top Secret: I attend these building meetings and ceremonies ONLY for this.
Hahahaha!

These vadas are known as “upwas” vadas because they are consumed by the Hindu
community on fasting days.

Many years ago, I had tried my hand at Sabudana khichdi, butI failed miserably
because I didn’t get the Sabudana soaked correctly plus the taste was bla.In
short, the recipe and instructions were not upto the mark. So, after that, I
thought I’d never get it right so I never really bothered trying.I was happy
about attending my building community meetings and ceremonies!Hahaha

But very recently my Cousin-in-law who wears many feathers in her hat, CARMELITA
FERNANDES, Singer, Writer, Blogger, Banker, Chef, Economist and So much more,
posted her Sabudana Vada pictures along with the recipe and I just I knew I
would get it right this time because it was so beautifully and specifically
explained. And guess what! I wasn’t wrong at all!! This was my second attempt
and it was Spot On!

Also, With a little bit of Youtube advice, I’ve mentioned how I got the Sabudana
soaked perfectly.
