No Soak Sabudana Cutlets: A Recipe for Fasts

sabudana vrat cutlets

Fasting, they say, is to cleanse the soul and body.

But we have given it a new form - feasting in fast.

Earlier, during fasts, we would have only the typical aloo sabzi with kuttu or singhara roti.

Now I can see a transformation -people are experimenting with the same ingredients to come up with innovative, lip-smacking recipes for vrat.

Here's my attempt at it.
This post is inspired by Sunita Sharma ji, who had shared sabudana paneer cutlets in my group. I decided to try the recipe, since it does not require soaking of sabudana for long hours. It's simple and quick, not to mention delectable. I have made sabudana-rajgira aloo cutlets.

Ingredients
1/4 cup- sabudana/sago
1/4 cup- samak chawal powder
1/4 cup- rajgira or amaranth flour (optional - if you are not including this, increase the amount of samak flour to 1/2 cup)
2 boiled potatoes
sendha namak
little oil or ghee for greasing appe pan
turmeric
hari mirch
curry leaves
1 tomato

Can we use the soaked water for millets? Does millet need to be soaked?

Do millets contain anti-nutrients? Yes, they do. In fact, all whole grains, including oats, contain phytates, which bind to minerals and make their absorption difficult for the body. Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking. Remove foam from top to reduce gassy elements from millets. How long should millet be soaked before cooking? Soaking the millets overnight is a safe practice. Soaking breaks down the phytic acid in millets or for that matter grains and nuts. Phytic acid hinders the absorption of minerals and nutrients in food, including calcium, iron, and zinc. How? Phytates bind to minerals and nutrients and make their absorption difficult in the gut. Your tummy finds it tough to digest millets in that case. So soaking millets and draining off that soaked water makes it easier on your tummy. Are millets safe for thyroid? Does
