How are you ? April is started already and how life is going? Steady or with full speed? Mine is going with full speed. Mini vacation are over and school has started. Again we are busy with school, study little bit and toddlers play time. Healthy dinners are the most important part of our Indian houses. We Indian families have everyday dinner together because it is the time where we meet each other and we talk with each other.  This was the scene of our childhood lives. Many of you agreed with it.  But,  In my house dinner time is where we strictly off the screens whether it is big or small screens and talk over the meal.  Dinner is the special time where we all have meals with discussion and laughter so we did it mindfully.  A healthy dinner has always been my goal. Earlier there was a house help when my baby was small but now we don't have any help. So the goal is to cook food at home and have a meal with the family, which is sometimes very difficult. But with meal planning I ma

How to make Sabudana Vada

By Neeta




Good food is equals to good mood. 

I always want to start our family weekend in a helathy way. It is relaxing and we generally get up late. So most of the time breakfast is special. Because it is family time and everyone is present for the first meal. 


Sabudana wada is nothing but the dumpling made up of the mixture of sago, potato and penaut with some spices. In India it is mostly consider as the Fast meal. 


It is one of famous street food and traditional fasting dish of Maharashtra. Every person in Maharashtrian family like this dish. Basically it is fritters and taste yummy when served with coconut chutney or curd accompained hot ginger tea.😋


I never keep any fast nor my hubby have it.😉 But this is one of my favorite food. I can have it in breakfast or lunch or in dinner too.


Anything traditional and yummy takes a time to prepare. My key to have yummy homemade food is the meal preparation. I always planned my meal and now with my busy twin baby schedule it is must to have meal plans. Otherwise we ended up in spending money 😐


So what are the Pre-preparation :

1. Soak sabudana at night. Wash it through with normal tap water. And fill it only up to it soak sabudana. It is trick. Make sure water should not come over to the sabudana. The level of water should be soaking the sabudana.


2. Boil potatoes and cool it and keep in fridge. Do not over boil them. Just 3 whistle are enough for my cooker. 


3. Roast peanut and remove skin and grind it in mixi jar to make a powder.



4. Grate coconut, peel garlic , wash green chilli and keep ready in a fridge for chutney. 


5. If you love to eat with curd then prepare that also. Add 1 tsp curd to 200 ml lukewarm milk and cover it. Keep that at warm place. Next morning you will have homemade thick curd too.


Now you are ready for the next day. Because most of the work has been done.👍🏻In the morning prepare first chutney and then fry sabudana wada.


How to make sabudana vada ?


Ingredients: 

Sabudana 1 cup

Potatoes 2 large

Peanut powder 1/2 cup

Ginger 1/2 inch

Green Chillies as per taste

Salt as per taste

Coriander 1/4 cup.








Direction : 

1. Pressure cook potato for 3 whistle or boil in a pan and mash them.

2. Dry roast peanut and crushed them in a powder.

3. Now mix everything mashed potato, crushed peanut powder, green chilli, jeera, chopped coriander, and form a dough.

4. Grease oil in your hand and make small balls from that dough. Press slightly so that it can shape in tikki. Make 10 to 15 tikki at one time only. Keep it ready to fry. 

5. Heat oil in a pan. Then drop small portion of the dough to check the oil. If that portion float on a oil it means your oil tempreature is right to fry the vada.

6. Take one vada and slowly add in a hot oil. Let them fry on medium heat. do not touch them. Once they take a firm shape and turns in golden colour then slowly turn them. Fry until it turns in golden yellow. Fry all vadas in the same way.

7. Your sabudana vada is ready.

8. Serve with coconut chutney or curd.



Healthy Version:

Deep fry means lot of calories. 😁 There are other ways to make it healthier. 

How ?

1. Use appe pan for frying vada instead of deep fry.

2. You can shallow fry them. As I showed in picture. I always shallow fry my vada.

3. You can use air frier to make this wada.

4. Instead of vada you can make thalipeeth of the same batter and roast it on pan with ghee.


The yummy breakfast recipe is ready in 20 minutes. Right?


Some To Do

1. It is not advisable to eat fry items but once in a month it is okay.

2. It is authentic Maharashtrian recipe.

4. While eating our traditional recipe do not count carb and calorie. Have it in Healthy manner.

    I love sabudana vada but rarely have it as it is fried. But your appe pan idea is fantastic. I am going to try it out soon.

    So, I do make this vada and love it. But am going to try this in appe pan, as deep frying does make me conscious of the calories.

    Sabudana has always been my favorite dish since my childhood. But, the process to make it was something I never knew it before . My mother used to prepare it but never I took the interest to cook it. But now after getting the recipe from you I am super excited to make it.

    The vadas look so good. We often make sabudana vadas in an appe pan. Without the peanuts, of course. Loved your simple and easy recipe.

    This blog took me back the 'memory files'. This vada was one of the first things I ate in my inlaws place (that time my hubby was just a friend). I love sabudana and make khichdi and vada all the time.

    Sabudana wada is one of my favourite foods, whether I'm fasting or not. I've tried baking it in the microwave for cutting down calories. Appe pan sounds good too.

    Wow, Sabudana Vada is one of our favorite snack at home. The recipe I follow is more or less like yours, comes out good. I shall try yours too. Sometimes, I do make them in my appe pan when I am guilty of consuming too much oil.

    This sure is quite an interesting recipe! I usually find sago on desserts and never on food like this. You surely got a very different cuisine and style of cooking. This made me interested though on how this taste as the other ingredients seems great when mixed up! Appreciate you sharing this recipe!-MommyWithAGoal

    Sabudana vada is my go to food and I love making it! I often make it for breakfast and your picture look so tempting now even I want to have them immediately. I have made them using appe pan to avoid using too much oil but the classic deep fried ones are my favorite.

Hi, there Excited to be a part of #Speakeasy2.1 blog challenge hosted by Dipika and Ruchi. Travelling is one of our (me and Mr. hubby) favorite thing. We do travel a lot and love to collect the memories and hence my blog is “Memory Flies”   As soon as I read the theme “Most memorable travel” my mind starts  hopping and makes me realizes our all memorable travels. It is very difficult for me to pick out the one. My dream destination of India is the South pole " KANYAKUMARI " and the North pole “KASHMIR” . Thanks to Mr. Hubby fulfilled my both dreams.   Today I am sharing my KASHMIR tour which was in 2018 with small kiddos and family. Traveling in hilly areas with small kids is not that much difficult. KASHMIR the word itself gives the feeling of immense beauty and  warmth. Kashmir is the place that you can feel and rejuvenate yourself. The peaceful nature and beauty of Kashmir attract travelers from all over the world every year. Due to its geographical location, it i

Happy Weekend.... Disclaimer: I am not professional; I am inspired by Montessori Method. This is my experience which is worked for us and wants to share with you. Depend on your child’s interest, you can start with the various activities which keep your toddler active and build confidence within them. Saee is 2.5 years now; I think it is the right age to start with her the learning activities. She also loves to play with different kind of activities which mumma sets for her, and asking more and more. Montessori is an education method which is based on self-directed activity, hands on learning and collaborative play. These are the basic activities for the children at different ages and to the individual personalities of each child. The main function is to help and allow the child to develop independence in all areas according to his or her inner psychological directives.

Bhatukali in vacation

Bhatukali -How many of you know this game?  I guess kids in the 90s and before that must know BHATUKALI. Still, if you don't know, not to worry, stick to the whole post. End of an era of online school Gyan we learn from our kids :  Be calm, accept the situation and enjoy it to the fullest. Our kids enjoyed the school in the same way (like offline)Irritating the teacher by asking questions like which subject is today? Can we write? Which lesson mam? Are you sending this in what's app group? Etc.  For kids, it was more fun but the truth is they missed school, friends, and teachers. Due to online schooling, we are able to evaluate our kid's performance as well as " teachers" performance. We get to know the flaws and strengths of our kids. As a parent, we should utilize it. Now it is vacation time and still, we have to schedule our kid's day, is it really necessary? This means, nowadays schools have everything in their syllabus from guitar to painting. But still,

Happiness is selfmade

It was 1 st January 2020 when one of my subscribers asked me to write on “HAPPINESS” and I did not write at that time. Because it was a really challenging one. I did not want to spread any negativity from my post. I tried but it seems to be more negative. Then I looked back to my life and observe, what is really Happiness to me? Thank you, dear subscriber. As it leads to me in deeper thoughts.   Since my childhood happiness is not equal to me. Then I thought, “NO” there are more countable days when I was happy. Like I was happy when I had my degree, my first job, my marriage, my house, my vehicle, my kid, etc. I think these are the milestone in everyone’s life and everybody tends to achieve it. Yep, it is a different thing that we want something else and we get something. 😊 This is called DESTINY. You will get what you DESERVE! But, As human beings we tend to think about such things which we are not able to achieve. Might be for satisfaction or passion. It is perfectly natu
