Sabudana Cutlet – Crispy, Fasting-Friendly & Totally Addictive


🧆 When Sabudana Turns into a Snack You Can’t Stop at One

Forget sabudana khichdi for a moment.
These Sabudana Cutlets are the ultimate way to enjoy sago — shaped into crispy patties, shallow-fried till golden, and served hot with chutney or curd.

Whether you’re fasting or just want something crunchy without guilt, this is your go-to.


🛒 What You’ll Need (Makes 8–10 cutlets):

1 cup sabudana (sago pearls), soaked 4–5 hrs or overnight

2 medium boiled potatoes, mashed

½ cup roasted peanuts, crushed

1–2 green chilies, finely chopped

1 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped

½ tsp jeera (cumin)

Salt (or sendha namak for fasting)

Oil or ghee to shallow-fry




🍳 How to Make It – Crispy Outside, Soft Inside

1. Soak the Sabudana

Wash sabudana until water runs clear. Soak with just enough water to cover them. After 4–5 hours, they should be soft and non-sticky when pressed.

2. Mix the Dough

In a bowl, mix soaked sabudana, mashed potatoes, crushed peanuts, green chilies, cumin, coriander, and salt. Knead lightly to combine.

3. Shape the Cutlets

Grease your hands and shape into small patties or oval tikkis. Keep them uniform for even frying.

4. Shallow Fry

Heat oil or ghee on a tawa. Fry cutlets on medium flame until both sides are golden and crisp.

5. Serve Hot

With green chutney, curd, or sweet tamarind sauce. They’re best enjoyed hot and fresh.
