Indian style savory waffles made with Sabudana (tapioca pearls). Crispy on the outside and soft inside, these waffles are a great alternative to the traditional Sabudana vada and Sabudana khichdi.

This waffle recipe is very similar to Sabudan Vada and Sabunda Khichidi, just that we cook them in waffles form. Takes minimal oil, very little monitoring and most importantly easy to make.

How to make Sabudana Waffles?

Rinse one cup of sabudana 3 times to remove excess starch. Drain all the water and add 1 cup of water to the washed sabundana. Soak the sabudana in the water for a minimum of five hours.

After 5 hours, sabudana would puff up nicely and become soft. When you press a sabudana it should mash well.

Roast ⅓ cup of peanuts cool it, remove the skin and grind them coarsely.

Cook 1 large or 2 small potato and peel the skin.

To the soaked sabudana, add the boiled potato, crushed peanuts, one teaspoon cumin, 2-3 finely chopped green chili, one teaspoon grated ginger, a big handful of finely chopped coriander leaves, two teaspoons lemon juice and salt to taste.

Mix all the ingredients, and slightly mash it with your hands. The mixture should not be dry and stick together.

Divide the mixture into four equal part and make round balls.

Spray or brush some oil on both sides of the waffle maker.

Take one of the balls and place it on the waffle maker. Press it gently and add a teaspoon of oil and slightly flatten it.

Cook the waffle as per instructions. You can select the desired level depending on your preference. Mine took 7 minutes, once done gently remove the waffle with a spatula and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

Sabudana Waffles tastes best when eaten right away to maintain the crunchy and softness. Serve with your favorite coriander chutney or maggi sweet and spicy sauce.

Tips and Notes:

It is very important to wash and soak the sabudana for a minimum of five hours to make them soft and fluffy.

You need enough cooked potato to bind the mixture well.

Roasted peanuts are must for the crunch.

They are best enjoyed immediately after they are made. Will slightly harden as they sit for long time. If that happens sprinkle some water and lightly toast them.
