sabudana chilla recipe | sabudana aloo cheela | sago chilla navratri special with detailed photo and video recipe. a healthy and tasty fasting chilla recipe made with sabudana pearls. generally it is either sabudana vada or sabudana khichdi recipe nominated as the easy and quick fasting recipe. but sabudana with mashed potatoes can also be used to make spicy crepe or also known as chilla served as it is without any sides.
i had mentioned in my previous posts. i am not a person who keeps fasting on a particular day. i try to keep or follow a healthy diet with 3 meals per day. i understand the science behind using ingredients like sago, potatoes, semolina and wheat during fasting. basically it supplies all the necessary nutrients and proteins for our body. well you can use the science whilst you are not fasting. for example, the morning breakfast has to be balanced with all the nutrients supplied. i make sabudana chilla for my breakfast as it solves my 2 purposes. one it does not need any extra sides with it as the batter comes with all the required spices in it. and secondly, it does provide all the necessary nutrients for a morning meal.
anyway, i would like to conclude my post with some tips, suggestions and variations for perfect sabudana chilla recipe. firstly, while preparing the batter, i have used 1 mashed potatoes for 1 cup sabudana. as a matter of fact, you can skip potatoes completely and use just sago batter. secondly, do not rest the batter and it has to be used immediately once the batter is made. because of the potatoes and sago, the batter would start ferment and may have sour taste. lastly, soak the sago pearls for a minimum of 4 hours so that it would be easy to ground it. you need a smooth batter and soaking it properly would ensure to have a smooth batter.
