Here comes the scrumptious Sabudana Vrat Uttapam that is remarkably soft, fluffy, and an instant savory recipe for you to relish. Your fasting will surely become a feast with a delicacy like this falahari vrat wala Uttapam! 

    Sawa Chawal and Sabudana Vrat Uttapam

    What is your favorite sabudana delicacy — is it sabudana dosa, sabudana khichdi, or sabudana vada? For me it is Sabudana Vrat Uttapam or Samvat Sabudana Uttapam.

    This irresistible dish is an instant hit whether prepared as a vrat meal or a regular meal. All you need is soaked Sawa ke chawal and soaked Sabudana to prepare this amazing delicacy. 

    Sabudana pairs quite brilliantly with sawa rice to make a delicious Uttapam that we are making today.

    What is Sabudana Vrat Uttapam?

    ‘Sabudana’ is the Hindi name for tapioca pearls, also known as Sago.

    Vrat is the Hindi term for fasting, and since Sabudana is supposed to be an ideal food during fasting, this recipe came into existence.

    Uttapam is the name given to pancakes made with some kind of flour or semolina.

    In this recipe, the pancakes are made with Sabudana/ Sago and sawa rice; therefore, they are called Sabudana Uttapam.

    Sawa rice, also known as barnyard millets/ mordhan/ moraiyo, is a gluten-free grain having properties very close to the usual rice and makes for a perfect fasting ingredient.

    This recipe is prepared with Sabudana and Sawa rice as the key ingredients and yogurt, bottle gourd, and a few other ingredients and seasonings as the add-ons.

    Sabudana Uttapam makes a perfect Vrat recipe as it is light on the stomach and prepares quickly without much effort.

    • Crispy and succulent and a perfect savory dish for fasting.

    Expert tips & Variations

    Use fresh Sago pearls/ Sabudana of good quality — Always use fresh and good quality Sabudana; otherwise, it will have an unpleasant flavor that spoils the dish’s taste.

    Watch the consistency of the batter — Do not add more water to the batter, as this will ruin the consistency. Make a thick pouring batter for the best Uttapams that are fluffy and spongy.

    Add your favorite toppings — I have added shredded bottle gourd, red chili flakes, and dried mint leaves as toppings to my Vrat Uttapam.

    You may add any toppings of your choice to make the delicious Uttapam that delights you the most.

    For a vegan version — To make this Sabudana Vrat Uttapam vegan, skip adding yogurt and instead add whisked plant-based yogurt like soybean yogurt.

    Choose the thickness as per your liking — You can swirl the batter twice on the tawa if you like the Uttapam thick and succulent. But if you prefer it thin and crispier, keep spreading it until you attain the right shape.

    To make crispier Uttapams — Try using ghee instead of oil for making more crispy and yummy Uttapams.

    RECIPE NOTES

     

    Frequently asked questions

     
    Can I store the leftover Sabudana Uttapams?
    There is no comparison to a freshly prepared Uttapam, so I recommend making them fresh. However, you can prepare the batter ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
     
    Can I freeze the Uttapams?
    I will not recommend freezing the Uttapams as they will lose their texture and flavor on being thawed.
     
    Can I reheat the Uttapams?
    Yes, you can reheat the Uttapams on a medium flame in a non-stick pan, and they will be as good as the freshly prepared ones.
     
    How can I serve the Sawa rice sabudana Uttapams?
    You can serve the Uttapams with any chutney of your choice. However, during fasting, when the consumption of onions and garlic is restricted, Vrat ki green chutney is the best accompaniment to this delicacy.
