    What is Sabudana Vrat Dosa?

    Sabudana is a term used for ‘tapioca pearls,’ vrat means fasting period, and dosa refers to ‘thin crepes.’

    Collectively it indicates- Tapioca pearl crepes that people can enjoy while they are fasting.

    This grain-free instant vrat dosa is a healthy alternative to the regular rice dosa. It is also known as vrat ka cheela in some parts of India.

    Ingredients for Sabudana Vrat Dosa

    Ingredients required to make Sabudana Vrat Dosa

    Nothing fancy, just the basic ingredients from your pantry, and they are –

    » Tapioca pearls are a carbohydrate-rich starchy ingredient that has zero nutritional value. This versatile ingredient is gluten-free, and that’s what makes it an ideal vrat food. 

    » Barnyard millets: a nutrient-dense gluten-free grain that is an excellent source of magnesium. In addition to that, millets provide essential fatty acids, fiber, B-Vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, iron, and potassium. 

    » Sugar: for a crispy texture

    » Buttermilk: it adds a fantastic tangy flavor to this recipe

    » Spices

    » Oil: to cook the crepes.

    Fasting doesn’t mean that you have to refrain from your favorite foods. This Navratri, try this delicious and healthy Sabudana dosa.

    A TIP ABOUT SABUDANA/SAGO PEARLS!

    Once the fasting season starts, soak tapioca in bulk. Drain and air-dry the pearls for 2-3 hours. Wrap in paper towel and store in the refrigerator.

    If you are fasting for a full seven days, you have one less thing to worry about.

    Remove from the refrigerator and use it, as mentioned in the recipe. Store the remaining back in the fridge. 

    Works wonders for me. I don’t have to wait 3-4 hours to try on my favorite sabudana recipes: sabudana vada, sabudana khichdi, sabudana uttapam, and Paneer stuffed croquettes. These are a few of my favorite Navratri recipes to kick-start the festive/fasting season.

    How to make Sabudana Vrat Dosa?

    This vrat dosa recipe is made in two steps:

    • making of the batter and
    • the potato stuffing (optional) 

    Rinse sabudana under tap water until the water runs completely clear. Transfer the sabudana to a large bowl. Add 1 cup of water to sabudana. Just enough to cover them and soak for 3-4 hours. Likewise, soak barnyard millets in a separate bowl for 3-4 hours.

    After the soak time is over, drain the gluten-free grains. Wash again with water and set aside.

    Transfer both the soaked gluten-free grains to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

    Empty the pureed mixture into a bowl. Add salt, sugar, and mix until incorporated. If needed, add water to dilute the batter. Vrat dosa batter

    Prepare the filling. Allow it to cool comfortably. To make the dosas: Heat a skillet on medium heat. To check if your skillet is hot enough, sprinkle some water on the skillet. If it sizzles and evaporates immediately, your skillet is ready.

    Pour 2-3 tablespoons of sabudana vrat dosa batter on the skillet. Starting from the center, start spreading the batter in a circular motion. Make it as thin as possible.

    Drizzle ghee or oil all around the dosa. Let the dosa cook on medium flame until it turns golden brown around the edges and center.

    Place the potato stuffing in the center and carefully fold the dosa. Serve hot with vrat ki green chutney.

    Can I substitute sama rice with other vrat ingredients?

    I have not tried the sabudana dosa recipe with other variations. 

    My sabudana pearls turn out mushy and sticky?

    Oh dear, I can so relate to this. But don’t worry, try my method next time or non-sticky sabudana pearls, and you will get guaranteed results every time! 

    I don’t consume curry leaves in vrat?

    If you do not consume a particular vegetable, herb, or spice during Navratri, feel free to leave that out and follow your family vrat guidelines.

    My rule of thumb is: when in doubt, leave that ingredient out. 

    Potato stuffed Sabudana Vrat Dosa

    The vrat dosa batter should be of the right consistency!

    If the batter of sabudana dosa is too thick, the dosas will not spread on the hot skillet. Instead, it will stick to the spoon.

    And if the batter is too thin or watery, the vrat dosa will not hold its shape and spread unevenly on the griddle.

    Therefore, the right consistency is a MUST! So what’s the right consistency? The batter should be of thick pouring consistency.
