Sabbakivada

I was wondering what to prepare for snacks on Saturday afternoon for my children who would come home after their school with a holiday mood. I checked out and found Sabudan or Sabbaki and thought of doing Vada out of it.

I took them out, washed and rinsed for 4 hours in water. After 4 hours I was ready to prepare Sabbakivada or Sabudan vada.

Ingredients:

• Sabbaki - 500gms
• Coriander leaves - 1/2 bunch
• Onion - 4
• Green Chillies -8 nos. (it can be changed according to the spicy-ness u want)
• Salt to taste
• Baking Soda - 1 tsp
• Oil for deep frying

Method:

1. Cut onion and green chillies into small pieces
2. Take the sabbaki mixture and add chopped onion and chillies, add salt and mix them.
3. Add baking soda and mix the mixture
4. Heat oil in kadai
5. Make small balls and add them into the oil
6. Leave the balls in the oil till they turn golden brown and turn it to the other side
7. Serve them hot with tomato ketchup

Uses: In Ayurvedic medicine, it is believed that sago porridge can be an effective and simple food to "cool and balance one's body heat" when taking strong medicine or antibiotics. - From Wikipedia.
