Sabudana Tikki

These Sabudana Vadas are a delicious and crispy treat perfect for fasting days. Air-fried to golden perfection, they offer a healthier alternative to deep-frying while maintaining a satisfying texture.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 60 grams soaked sago/ sabudana
• 100 grams boiled sweet potato
• 20 grams amaranth flour
• 1 tablespoon crushed peanuts
• 1 tablespoon ghee
• 2 chopped green chillis
• Sendha Namak as per taste
• Spices as required

Procedure:

• In a bowl, add boiled sweet potatoes and mash them well. Add soaked and fluffy sago balls, red chili powder, coriander leaves, crushed peanuts, and sendha namak.
• In the last, add the amaranth flour as a binding agent.
• Mix them all and prepare like a dough. Make small tikkis out of it.
• Preheat the air-fryer for about 10 mins at 390 degree F. When done, pull out the air fryer basket and line it with baking paper.
• Arrange the tikkis on the air-fryer lined with baking paper and brush them with a little oil if you like (optional) and air-fry for 10 mins, flip them, and repeat the process for another 10 mins.
• Serve them with coriander chutney or just yogurt.

Nutritional Benefits:

• Amaranth flour adds protein and essential amino acids, supporting muscle health and overall wellness.
• Crushed peanuts offer healthy fats and protein, enhancing satiety. Ghee provides a rich flavor and essential fatty acids, although it’s used sparingly.
