Sabudana Wada (Tapioca pearls) is one of my favorite and the most traditional fasting recipe that is made during Navratri, Shravan, and any other fasting days. They are crispy, delicious, and tastes so good. Sabudana Wada is so versatile that it is not only made during Navratri or Fasting but are also served as breakfast and tea time snacks in many homes.
Sabudana Wada is commonly made during Vrat i.e when someone is fasting. It is made with soaked Sabudana, boiled potatoes, and roasted peanuts. All these ingredients are mixed together along with ginger-chili, salt, and lemon juice. Small size wadas are made and later deep-fried in oil and served with Farali Peanut chutney.
