About Sabudana Vada
Sabudana Vada is a classic Maharashtrian snack that brings together the perfect blend of flavors and textures. With soft, chewy sabudana (tapioca pearls), crunchy peanuts, and creamy potatoes, each bite offers a delightful contrast that's both satisfying and moreish.
This wholesome and filling treat is especially popular during fasting periods, but its irresistible taste makes it a favorite year-round. The subtle heat from green chillies and the nutty aroma of roasted peanuts elevate this vada, making it a must-try for anyone craving a delicious Indian snack.

Instructions
- Soak the sago grains in water just a little above level. Add the chopped coriander to the sago grains once they have absorbed all the water.
- Boil and mash the potatoes well.
- Roast the groundnuts and powder them finely.
- Mix all of them well and make a firm mixture.
- Make flat patties with hand and fry in hot oil. Remove from oil when slightly brown. Serve with green chutney.
Recipe Notes
Mix all the ingredients only at the time of frying.
Additional Tips
- Ensure the sabudana is soaked just enough so that the pearls are soft and easily mashable between your fingers, but not overly wet—excess moisture can lead to soggy vadas that break apart while frying.
- For an extra crunch, coarsely grind the roasted peanuts instead of making a fine powder, and fold them into the mixture at the end to retain their texture.
- If you want a lighter version, try air-frying or baking the vadas at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway; brush them lightly with oil for a golden, crispy finish.
- To infuse more flavor, add a teaspoon of cumin seeds or a handful of freshly chopped coriander leaves to the vada mixture before shaping.
