sabudana pakoda recipe with step by step photos – sabudana pakora is yet another snack that can be made during fasting or vrat days. these sabudana pakodas can be made for ekadashi fast or navratri fast or even for janmashtami fast or on any other religious fasting day.

these sabudana pakoras are simple and easy to make and they also make for a nice breakfast or evening snack. i make these sometimes for an evening snack and we have them with tomato sauce or coriander chutney. few more fasting snacks recipes on the blog are:

• sabudana tikki
• farali batata vada
• farali pattice
• aloo makhana
• sabudana bhel recipe

these sabudana pakoras are similar to the maharashtrian sabudana vada. just that i have added some kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour) in the pakora mixture and excluded some ingredients like lemon juice and coriander leaves.

apart from buckwheat flour, the other main ingredients in this recipe are sabudana or tapioca pearls, roasted peanuts, potatoes. the peanuts gives crunchy taste in between and add flavor. mashed potatoes and kuttu ka atta helps in binding the pakoras. apart from that kuttu ka atta also absorbs extra moisture, if any.

since i get pretty hard sabudana pearls here, i always soak them overnight. by morning they soften really well. so depending on the quality of the pearls, you can soak them overnight or for a few hours.
