RECIPE DETAIL – Sabudana used in this recipe is different from khichdi sabudana. It’s bigger in size and after frying it becomes fluffy. This namkeen is usually a combination of fried sabudana, peanuts and thin potato wafers. 

FOLLOW NAVRATRI MEAL PLANNER BELOW

Use a strainer with metal edges for this recipe. Strainer sits over a kadai full of oil and namkeen is fried in it. I have used a mandolin to cut my potato wafers. Potato sticks/wafers are cut thin and fried until crunchy and crispy. Make sure they are thin and fried until crunchy.

Fry peanut until slightly dark in color and then combine all the three in a bowl and toss with your favorite spices. 

Store in an airtight container and it’s good for 2-3 weeks.Sabudana Namkeen
