Crispy Sabudana and Aloo Tikki (Sago and Potato Patties) is a delicious dish that is super crispy. This is an instant recipe! No soaking of sago and boiling of potatoes is required for this. This yummy appetizer can be made during fasting days of Navratri, Janmashtmi, Shivaratri, Ekadashi or any other day when falahari food is consumed.
A quick and simple recipe made effortlessly with few ingredients, crispy Sabudana vada can be deep-fried, shallow fried or even made in an Air fryer. I made them by frying them as they came out to be very crispy and were not at all oily. Air-fried or pan-fried will also not disappoint you. Made from tapioca pearls, potatoes and peanuts these kurkure patties were made so easily. If you have guests at home these vadas can be made in a jiffy.
Crispy Sabudana and Aloo Tikki taste very different from the normal sabudana vada made as vrat ka khana. Serve with green chutney! If you try this recipe, let us know!
