Fasting or not, these sabudana (tapioca sago) vadas (fritters) are a hit!! They are even more delicious when you aren’t fasting; I love eating them with green chutney or even the hot and sweet maggi sauce. It’s a great snack on a rainy day with a cup of hot chai while listening to bollywood jams or watching DDLJ (my FAVE movie to watch on a rainy day or a sunny day lol) . I’m so filmy I can’t help myself don’t judge lol. Okay I’m done ranting but hope you make these and enjoy them as much as I do.
Stay happy, Stay hungry!
