Sago coins/Sabudana Vada

-




Its very long time i haven't addressed my dear-ones through my food blog. Today my blog has been followed by 400 followers. SO i thought to meet you with a new recipe.
I am gonna share recipe of yummy sabudana coins or say sago vada.

The key ingredient of the dish is sabudana/sago. This is derived from tapioca plant.
Tapioca (/ˌtæpɪˈoʊkə/; Portuguese pronunciation: [tapiˈɔkɐ]) is a starch extracted from cassava root (Manihot esculenta). This species is native to the northeast region of Brazil, but its use spread throughout South America. The plant was carried by Portuguese and Spanish explorers to most of the West Indies and Africa and Asia. It is a tropical, perennial shrub that is less commonly cultivated in temperate climate zones. Cassava thrives better in poor soils than many other food plants.

Although tapioca is a staple food for millions of people in tropical countries, it is devoid of nutrition and low in food energy. In developed countries, it is used as a thickening agent in various manufactured foods.

Nutritional value

Tapioca predominantly consists of carbohydrates, with each cup containing 23.9 grams for a total of 105 calories; it is low in saturated fat, protein and sodium. It has no significant essential vitamins or dietary minerals. One serving of tapioca pudding contains no dietary fiber, a small amount of oleic acid, and no omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids.

Let's have a look on recipe:

Ingredients:
Sago pearls - 3/4 cup
Potatoes (boiled and mashed) - 3 large
Roasted and peeled crushed peanuts - 1/2 cup
Chopped green chillies - 3
Chopped ginger - 1 inch
Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
