Today, we’re going to share a recipe that will keep you charged throughout the day and is also amazing in taste – the Crispy Sabudana Tikki!

This tikki is not only easy to make, but it also provides the goodness of potatoes and peanuts, which gives you plenty of energy during the fast. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s quickly know how this tasty Sabudana Tikki is made!

To make Sabudana Tikki, you need:

1 cup sago (soaked overnight in water)

2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves

1 teaspoon lemon juice

2 medium-sized boiled potatoes

Rock salt (according to your taste)

2 finely chopped green chillies

1 teaspoon grated ginger

Half a cup of roasted and coarsely ground peanuts

Desi ghee or oil (for fasting) for frying the tikkis

Fact check: Soaking sago overnight makes it swell well and makes it easy to make tikkis. Additionally, peanuts are a good source of protein and energy, which helps keep you active during fasting.

Method of making Sabudana Tikki (very easy!):

First, remove the sago that you had soaked in water and strain it thoroughly. Check once to see if the sago has swelled and become very soft. If not, you can soak it for a little longer.

Now, mash the boiled potatoes well in a large vessel. Add soaked sago, ground peanuts, green chillies, ginger, green coriander, rock salt and lemon juice to it.

Mix all these things well with your hands. Keep in mind that the mixture should not be too wet; otherwise, there will be a problem in making tikkis.

Now, make medium-sized round or flat tikkis from this mixture.

Heat a little ghee or fasting oil in a non-stick pan. When the ghee is hot, add the tikkis to it.

Fry the tikkis on both sides on low flame till they become golden and crispy. Keep turning them in between so that they do not burn and cook well from all sides.

That’s it! Your hot and crispy sabudana tikki is ready! Enjoy it with green coriander chutney (fasting) or curd.
