Sabudana Wade / Sago Cutlets

sabudana wada
Sabudana or Sago is a staple for Indian fasts, well known as Vrat or Upvaas. Sabudana Khichdi also known as Sago Pilaf is a vrat special food. Let me tell you about another sago delicacy - deep fried sago and potato cutlets, known as  Sabudana Vade.

Ingredients:
Sago/Sabudana - 1 cup
Potatoes - 2 medium
Peanuts/Groundnuts - 1/2 cup
Green Chillies - 5
Cilantro/Coriander Leaves - few sprigs
Cumin/Jeera Seeds - 1 tsp
Sugar - 1/2 tsp
Salt
Oil

Curd - 1 cup
Turmeric/Haldi - a pinch
Curry Leaves/Kadipata - a sprig
Red Chilies - 2
Mustard Seeds - 1/4 tsp
Asafoetida/Hing - a pinch

How to make Sabudana Wade:
  • Wash Sago twice and drain the water. Add water just enough to form a thin layer on sago. Keep it covered for 5 - 6 hours.
  • Boil the potatoes and dry roast the peanuts. After cooling, grind the peanuts to a coarse powder.
  • Sago must turn almost double in size and soft to touch. If not, sprinkle some more water.
  • Mix sago, boiled potatoes, roasted peanut powder, cumin seeds, chopped green chillies, chopped cilantro, sugar and salt in a mixing bowl. Make small balls of this mixture and flatten them. Deep fry these in medium hot oil until golden brown on both sides.

  • Curd Dip: In a bowl, mix curd and little salt. For tempering/tadka, heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When mustard seeds pop, add curry leaves, red chilies, asafetida, turmeric and turn off the heat. Pour this tadka over curd and mix well.
Serve Sabudane Vade with curd or Coconut chutney.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
