Faraali Pattice and Sabudana Vada are other popular snacks which are also a Vrat Special Menu
We use Nylon Sabudana for this chivda which is different from the usual Sabudana that is used for preparing Sabudana Vada / Sabudana Khichdi. Since, this is a special snack used during fasting we use Rock Salt / Shendha Namak and Green chillies .

Normal days we can use regular table salt and also red chilly powder for extra spiceness.

Ingredients
 |
| Nylon Sabudana |
100gms nylon sabudana
handful of groundnuts
2-3 green chillies (finely chopped)
handful of curry leaves
rock salt / table salt as needed
1 tsp powdered sugar
oil for deep frying
Method
Heat oil in a kadai ,and carefully drop a handful of sabudana into the hot oil . The pearls will tend to splutter and burst as it begins to fry , so close the frying pan with a lid and leave a gap for steam to escape.
As the spluttering stops, you can see that the pearls have swollen up well and appear crispy like popcorns. Drain and keep it in a wide bowl.
Fry the groundnuts until crisp followed by the curry leaves and green chillies . Mix it with the fried sabudana . Add required amount of salt and sugar and toss it well.
Store in an airtight container and use a dry spoon for serving.

Very nice snack for fasting days. It must be tasting like sabudana fryums.
ReplyDeleteInspite of all that spluttering, I will make this anyday! it is one of the most addictive snack I have tried. I just need some chai to go with it.
ReplyDeleteWould very much love to make this sabudana chivda for the Navratras. Will use rock salt instead of table salt. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteI have all the ingredients at home, will make it. It makes a great snack, good to have the recipe.
ReplyDeleteSpluttering is good, as the unspluttered (I hope that is a word) sabudana you cannot eat. This is onechivda that the girls love and make often. I love yours tip of covering the pan.
