Making Healthier Sabudana Vada

First, tapioca pearls (sabudana/sago) are made from tapioca starch which mostly comprises carbohydrates. Secondly, fritters are deep-fried conventionally. But my love for these fritters forced me into making a healthier version of Tapioca Fritters (sabudana/sago vada).

Here in addition to tapioca, I have used beetroot and carrots to add the fibers, vitamin C, iron, and other nutrients. Further, roastingthemin ebleskiver (appe) panwith only a few drops of oil makes them low-fat and guilt-free snacks.

Hope you like this version...

Crispy sabudana vada are usually served with mint green dip (chutney),tamarind dip (chutney) or with a sweet yogurt dip. If you don't have carrots, you can also use any other vegetable of your choice. For example, finely chopped spinach or squashes will also do fine. Each mom has a slightly different flavor.

      Hello Lekha
      Yes, you can bake them as well @ 450f. Place them on parchment lined baking sheet, bake for about 30 minuets then flip and bake them for around 20-25 minuets.
