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
