Sabudana chivda recipe– crispy deep fried sago pearls mixed with fried peanuts, cashews, raisins to make delicious snack. This sabudana chivda can be made for navratri vrat too.
I recently made this easy sabudana chiva with nylon sago that I needed to finish off. It is really a very basic recipe pf sabudana mixture or chivda that you can change as per taste.
To make sabudana chivda you need larger variety of sago known as nylon sago. While nylon sago is preferred you can also use regular ones if you have only that. Other ingredients are totally open ended.
Other ingredients in sabudana chivda recipe.
1. Poha or rice flakes
2. peanuts
3. Cashews
4. Almonds
5. Roasted gram
6. raisins
7. green chilies
8. curry leaves
Apart from these ingredients there is a tempering of spices and chili powder in this chivda recipe. You can use whatever suits for your fasting or vrat.
While this sabudana chivda recipe is deep fried yet it uses very less oil. I have made the entire batch with just two tablespoons oil. Just we need to fry the ingredients in small batches in low flame. Though it is time consuming I prefer this method.
Store sabudana chivda in airtight box and it keeps well for 10 days. Serve with tea or as side dish.
