Sabudana Vada |Tikki

Sabudana Vada |Tikki

First time I had sabudana vada was at a friend's place and liked it very much, though I wanted make these vada but never really did. My friend has shared with me these vada recipe long back and after Pari post of same it was quite tempting and I end up making my own.  I followed little of my friend's recipe, some of Pari's and came up with my own version; also instead of deep frying I used shallow fry method and it did tasted equally good and little less guilt;) 
Since I made these during weekend late evening, the picture didn't do real justices to these yummy tikkis. 


Makes 12 medium size tikki's
Ingredients:

Sabudana/Sago - 1/2 [ it becomes 1 cup after soaking]
Boiled Potato - 1 Large [ I used red potato]
Peanuts - 1/3 Cup [Roasted and Crushed]
Green Chillies -  2-3
Cilantro - 2 tbsp chopped
Singhada/Water Chestnut Flour - 1 tbsp [optional]
Flaxseeds Powder - 1 tbsp [optional]
Sugar - 1/4 tsp
Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
Rock Salt/ Kala Namak -1/2 tsp [optional]
Salt - to taste
Oil - 2-3 tbsp


Method:

1. Wash and soak sago overnight or for 4-5 hours ( the water should just cover the sago).

2. Drain the water and squeeze sago to remove excess water, peel n mash the potato.  Add all the ingredients with sago except oil.   


3. Mix well everything and divide in equal portions and make firm tikkis, smooth the edges.  If required grease hands with oil to make proper tikkis.


4. Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry tikkis until golden brown both sides on medium flame (you can also deep fried the vada).  


Remove in kitchen towel and serve with any chutney or sauce.  I served with green chutney, shall post the chutney recipe some time.  


It makes a great tea time snack, and wonderful way to please your guests :)

  38. Priti, all you dishes look very tempting when I land on your page that i randomly clicked on this and aren't these delicious - I must make them, but usually shy away since they do guzzle oil! is there a way to prevent them from getting so oily - you know urad vadais etc can be fried but come out pretty dry depending on how you've ground the batter... if you have any suggestions, tricks, please let me know

  40. @Sweethome ...thanks for sharing the award with me :)

    @ananda ...I hope you try it now :)

    @Ila ..thanks dear ...glad that you liked it.

    @Now Serving ...thanks dear for your sweet words ...well I have sometime the problem too ...the deep fried stuffed becomes very oily and there are few things we have to take care
    1. While grinding the urad dal make sure you don't add water or only little water. As having excess water in the batter cause vadas to drink more oil then required.

    2. Grind the dal to proper consistency....batter will be fluffy if grind properly.

    3. If am making vadas in large batch then I add salt in batter in small batches say if am frying 5-6 vadas at a time then I add salt only to that amount of batter and fry it ..this way we can prevent the salt from oozing water and making the batter watery.

    4. Oil temperature also plays a role, make sure the oil is heated at right temp, test by dropping a small amount of batter and if it's floats on oil within few seconds then the temp is right, the batter/vada should not sink on bottom of kadai/pan.

    5. If the batter is little watery add 1-2 tbsp of rice flour, mix well and made vada this helps it from soaking oil.

    Hope this helps you ...if you have any other doubt feel free to ask and sorry for the late reply...:)

  41. thanks dear - Urad vadais come well - it was the saboodaana vadas that I've tasted anywhere that are usually very oily - I think using a little oil in a shallow skillet like you have is a good idea - :)) Priya

  42. @Now Serving ....hmm ohkie for sabudana vada, it's again the amount of potato is used and there should be no water in potato nor any other ingredients. Oil temperature again plays a role ....as said before once the vada dropped in oil within seconds it has to float and cook in medium flame. Well dear I never really had this problem ..if I have come to know anything in future will update you.
