Puppies love to play, snuggle, eat and take nap...and I am one of those kinds on weekend.Weekend means soul food and enjoying the time to gear up for the week ahead.Since its Navratri time I take special care of being total Vegeterian and live pure eight days.I tell you this time is really different from other festive times as it brings lots of fresh and pious renewal to life.
My navratri days remind me of 'pooja' and 'havan' performed in celebrating the mightiness and strength of 'goddess Durga'..I being fond of Prasad use to wait for mornings to start my day with yummy God food.Some delicacies are specially meant for this time and are hearty ones.Use of Sabudana(pearl sago) ,potato, kuttu(buck wheat), peanut, fruits and Sendha namak(rocksalt) is more during these auspicious eight days.The idea is to have no use of cereals and pulses and have different flavours cooked particularly.The fasting time ends with feeding 8 girls in number and worship them as goddess.
So I would be sharing a Sabudana Vada recipe which can be consumed in vrat.
Ingredients:
1)Sabudana 250 gm
2)Potato boiled and mashed
3)Green coriander finely chopped
4)Green chillies two in number chopped
5)Sendha namak to taste
6)Singhara(Indian water chestnut fruit that is dried and powdered) flour for binding few tablespoons
7)Oil for frying
So we start with soaking sabudana in water after washing and let it go plump and translucent.Then we add boiled and mashed potatoes to it and mix well.We add chillies,coriander and salt .Adding singhara flour makes the mix bind properly.Check the consistency and would make balls out of it.Heat the oil and put balls one by one.Golden brown balls are taken out on serving plate.Great to enjoy with coriander chutney.
tips:
-Making balls clingwrapping them and storing in fridge for one hour turns then crispier while frying.
-Adding roasted peanuts to vada dough adds nuttiness
