VRAT KA KHANA - SABUDANA VADA(PAN FRIED) N GREEN CHUTNEY

North Indians fast during these 9 days of Navrathri and Sago plays a major part of thr vrat ka khana / fasting food.

Sago / Sabudana is full of starch / carbohydrates so it provides quick boost of energy, and gives cooling effect on the body system. It is a pure veg processed food and so it is an integral part of the vrat. Vadas, khichdi and sweet dishes are made with Sago / Sabudana / Javvarasi.
