Vada is a favourite snack for Indians and gradually becoming popular tea time snack worldwide. Who could resist deep fried patties along a hot piping glass of tea over a chat. Vada or vadai is an Indian origin snack usually made with dhal which, could be found in almost all roadside tea stalls and it makes a great companion over a rich milky chai.
I was thinking of making sabudana/sago pearls vada for quite sometimes, until i come across of half bottle leftover sago pearls in my pantry. Since i was in no mood to use them for a sweet dessert, my long time due sabudana vada came to mind. With all the ingredients one could find in the kitchen, i started with some chopping and mashing ingredients to throw into my sago batter. Fiery chilly, sweet onion and fresh coriander add texture and flavor to the delicious vada. Deep fried to perfection the sabudana vada are crispy in the outside and spongy inside. Serve hot with a glass of chai and enjoy vada its best.
