Sabudana Vada
Sabudana is also called sago. It is usually eaten during fast. India is a country where people believe in fasting and in every month, there are minimum two to three days when people fast. One is on amavasya or no-moon day and another one is poornima or full-moon day. People are restricted to eat grains while fasting. Sabudana is basically extracted from the roots of a tree found in certain places. It goes through a process where finally it is formed into white shiny pearl. Sago is high in starch. It provides energy in the body and thus it is consumed during fast. Though it is good to eat in fasting, it should not be a part of stable diet as it contains no nutrients other than carbohydrates. It is easily available in convenient stores. It should be stored in dry and air tight container because it is prone to germs and might get sticky if gets in contact with water. Special care should be taken while cooking sabudana. It should always be soaked in water for minimum 2 hour...
