Sabudana Vada / Cheesy Sabudana Vada
Sabudana Vadas are usually a very famous snack made during the fasting days. They are not only yummy but are also very easy to make. I however tried a slight variation to the regular Sabudana vadas. Turn your plain Sabudana vada into a cheesy one. Cheese lovers will surely love this twist to a regular one. This definitely is a fusion snack !!
