Sabudana wada

I have learned this recipe from my mother-in-law. She makes the best sabudana wada I have ever tasted. Sabudana wada is a classic Maharashtrian dish usually eaten on fasting days in many parts of Maharashtra. Sabudana (Sago) has a subtle taste. Green chilies, roasted peanut powder, sugar and salt completes all the taste elements like sweet, spicy and nutty. The wada is deep fried and is crispy on the outside while soft on the inside. This wada can be eaten as it is or can be served with a  chutney.
