Sabudana Vada (Crispy tapioca fritters)

Sabudana vada

   
     Sabudana vada, is a traditional deep fried snack from Maharashtra usually eaten in fasting days. These are crunchy from outside and soft from the inside which just melts in mouth. Its usually served with green chutney but I like to serve it with yogurt peanut chutney .The contents are just the same as Sabudana khichdi I posted in my earlier post. The difference being ,in this dish boiled potatoes are used and in more quantity ,roasted peanuts are also used in generous amount which gives a nice crunch to vadas .

What can be more better than a cuppa hot tea in this monsoon .....
