Sabudana Thalipeeth

Simple and easy to cook Sabudana Thalipeeth, which take sabudana and mashed potatoes fried to a crispy goodness.

Sabudana or sago or tapioca pearls are a cooked widely in India, usually during the fasting season. However at our home it would be cooked as a snack or even for breakfast. Sabudana is typically soaked overnight and can be cooked into a variety of dishes – Sabudana Kichidi, Sabudana Vada, Sabudana Thalipeeth, Sabudana Kheer. 

Sabudana Thalipeeth is a according to me a flatter version of sabudana vada, shallow fried in less oil and equally delicious to taste.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sabudana
  • 2 potatoes (boiled, peeled and mashed)
  • 1/2 tsp – jeera / cumin seeds or powder
  • 4 tsp roasted peanuts (coarsely ground)
  • 1 chili (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup coriander/ cilantro leaves (chopped)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • salt to taste
  • oil for frying

Preparation:

  1. Wash the sabudana and soak them in 1 cup water overnight (there should be enough water to cover all the sabudana, add more if required).
  2. Drain the water from sabudana and add all the ingredients except oil.
  3. Mix well, it should all come together to form a rough dough.
  4. Heat a non stick pan and add some oil.
  5. Meanwhile oil the palms of your hands and take 2 spoons of the sabudana mixture and flatten it to form a round flat disc.
  6. Place the flattened round in the pan and cook both side till it is golden brown and crisp.

Serve warm with a side of yogurt or tomato ketchup. It is a fuss free easy to cook snack, enjoyed by everyone.
