Javvarisi / Sabudana Vadam (Sago Fryums)
Javvarisi (Sabudana) Vadam can be either prepared plain or with food colours added. Also tomato or mint juice can be added to get different flavors. Here I have added black sesame and cumin seeds to get a wonderful taste and colour.
Ingredients :
-
Javvarisi/sabudana/sago – 1 cup
- Green chili – 3 no
- Lemon juice – 1 table spoon or Curd – ¼ cup
- Asafetida powder – ¼ tea spoon
- Black sesame seeds – 1 table spoon
- Salt – as per taste
Method :
-
Soak sago in 2 cups of water for half an hour. Boil 6 cup of water and add soaked sago in the boiled water. Cook till the sago is half cooked and close the container for 1 hour
-
Grind green chili, salt and asafetida powder coarsely
-
Add this mixture in the cooked sago, now add sesame seeds, little curd or lemon juice and mix well; you can see the batter becoming thick and somewhat semisolid
-
Now pour it on thick polythene sheets/thick cloth and dry it on direct sunlight for 2 days; here are day 1 morning and evening photographs
On the second day peel it, turn the side and dry
