Sabudana Vada (Sago Cutlets) is a very tasty snack, which can had as a main dish along with any dip of your choice or can be relished as a side dish. The Sabudana Vada's flavour is so wonderful because of the fresh peanuts used in the recipe and fried later. This gives the cutlets the crispy texture from outside and soft texture from inside. The dish is very popular in Northern part of India. This is enjoyed as a main dish during the fasting and festival days.
