sabudana or tapioca pearls is one ingredient that is often used during fasting or vrat. with sabudana, i do make some fasting recipes likes:

• sabudana khichdi
• sabudana kheer
• sabudana bhel
• sabudana pakoda
• sabudana ladoo
• sabudana thalipeeth

the preparation of sabudana tikkis is similar to making sabudana vada, but the ingredients are a bit different, apart from sabudana and potatoes. these tikkis are also not deep fried but pan fried.

serve sabudana tikki with fasting coconut chutney, homemade tomato ketchup made without preservatives or coriander or mint chutney.

how to make recipe

preparation for sabudana tikki recipe:

1. rinse and then soak 1/2 cup sabudana pearls in water covering them above 1 inch, for 5 to 6 hours or overnight. depending on the quality of sabudana you can even soak for 2 hours. 

2. when properly soaked, the sabudana pearl, should get mashed when pressed. if you feel some hardness in the center, then soak for some more time.

3. then drain the soaked sabudana pearls very well in a strainer.

4. boil or steam 1 large potato in a pressure cooker, steamer or microwave oven. the potato has to well cooked.

making sabudana tikki:

1. when the potato becomes warm, peel and mash it very well in a bowl.

2. now add the drained sabudana, 1 green chili (chopped), 10 to 12 cashews, chopped or 4 tbsp chopped cashews, 1/2 tbsp chopped raisins, 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 1/4 tsp dry mango powder or add as per taste. also add rock salt/sendha namak as required. you can also use roasted and slightly crushed peanuts instead of cashews.

5. heat 2 tbsp peanut oil in a pan. place the tikkis in the pan.

6. when the base is lightly browned, flip and pan fry the other side.

7. flip a couple of times more till they are crisp and golden from both sides.

8. drain the fried sabudana cutlet on kitchen paper towels. fry the remaining batch in the same way. the recipe makes for 8 tikkis.
