Sabudana vada/Sago Vada or javvarisi vadai is one easy tea time snack.It is a Maharashtrian delicacy and I learnt it from a marathi friend who also taught me to make Misal Pav.This one is a deep fried snack taken during vrat days or fasting days.You can add chopped onions too if you want to make for parties or get togethers.Tastes equally good.Delicious and addictive snack ,this also has boiled and mashed potatoes and served with green chutney.These are so filling that,so they are taken during fasting days.You can make the batter in advance and store in the fridge too and make use of it as and when needed.I made this for publication in malligai magal magazine this month under the heading 25 summer snacks.See recipe of the craving sabudana vada.
