Sabudana Pakoda Recipe (Fasting or Vrat Recipe) – In India we observe fasting during many occasion. Whether it is festivals like Navaratri or days like Ekadashi. Almost all around the year fasting or vrat is observed some of the other day. The best part about fasting is that we tend to break the routine and give a break to our tummy. During this time some food ingredients are not consumed while other fasting ones are served.

The main ingredient that you will find in most of the fasting recipes is sabudana or sago. There are so many fasting / upwas dishes that can be made using this single ingredient like sabudana khichdi, sabudana vada, sabudana kheer etc. Other than sabudana potato and peanuts are also used in fasting dishes. The idea is to prepare simple easy to digest food with less spices making it best for health. Fasting recipes thus are healthy recipes too.

In my home we make sabudana pakoda very often. Everyone likes this sabudana pakora. That’s why if someone is observing fast then this pakoda is made for whole family. Mostly I make this sabudana pakoda during ekadashi or navaratri. Even if you are observing fast during weekdays such as monday fast, saturday fast or thursday fast, this recipe is best for you. I have added rajgira atta or amaranth flour in this sabudana pakora recipe. That gives a great taste and binds all ingredients well. Also rajgira (rajigra) is a common fasting ingredients used to make so many different fasting or vrat ki recipes such as rajgira puri, rajigra paratha or thepla, rajgira sheera etc.

This simple and easy to make sabudana pakoda can be served as evening snacks too. If you have prepared lot of them and you have some leftover then don’t worry. Just preheat these sabudana pakoda in microwave for a minute and you are good to go.

Getting back to the recipe of sabudana pakoda or pakora. Let us check the step by step recipe of sabudana pakoda.

    Excellent. I feel if asafoetida (heeng) is also added, it becomes better. What do you say ?

      Hello… that’s a good suggestion. But since I made this dish for fasting or vrat I had skip Asafoetida (hing). If you are not fasting then you can very well add Asafoetida.
