Sabudana Ke Vade (Sago Patties) is a delicious snack usually made during fasts like Navratri, Shivratri, Janamashtami and Ekadashi. For this dish sabudana (tapioca sago), potatoes, and some spices are used. We have to take care while soaking sago as too much water will made it mushy and difficult to handle.

These vadas are soft from inside and crisp from outside. Today I have fried them but I often made them in Air Fryer for a healthy version. You may also try our other Falahari recipes like Sabudana ki Khichdi and Singhare ka Cheela.
