Sabudana Tikki or vada (Sago Vada)

While the origins of sabudana vada are difficult to trace, it's said to have originated in Mumbai as a healthy snack during long fasting periods. The vada is a deep-fried patty made from soaked sago, mashed potatoes, and spices. It's a popular dish in Maharashtrian cuisine and is often offered to gods on special occasions.
