Hello everyone! I am back with another sabudana  (tapioca pearls) recipe. No, I have not started any tapioca pearl series but I prepared all these recipes last week for the Indian festival- Navratri. If you are following my blog, you must be aware of it by now.

I had planned to share these recipes during Navratri but unfortunately couldn't do it so sharing now.

During Navrati, only a few ingredients are allowed to be eaten, that too vegetarian. Even a lot of grains like rice and wheat are not allowed to be consumed. So a lot of Navratri recipes are vegetarian and gluten-free.

That’s the reason you will find a lot of common ingredients in these recipes.

Despite so many restrictions, the dishes prepared are extremely delicious. This shows that you don’t need too many complicated and exotic ingredients to make something tasty.

  • Sabudana khichdi
  • Sabudana kheer
  • Vrat wale aloo

These dishes are eaten during Navratri doesn’t mean we don’t eat it on other days. People love to eat them on any other normal day too.

So even if you don’t celebrate Navratri, just make Sabudana vada and serve with Karak chai or any chutney/ dip of your choice.

If you try any of my recipes then please don’t miss to share your feedback and rate the recipe in the comments section below.
