Sago or sabudana is often considered as a super food which is full of energy and carbohydrates. Sago is basically extracted from the sago palm trees or more importantly from their stem in a starch form. Sago is also known as tapioca pearls. It is one of the rich sources of starch and carbohydrates and is used as a culinary delicacy in many cuisines, especially in India.
This is basically made from tapioca pearls, potatoes. The addition of potatoes to the recipe makes it soft and also acts as a binder for the pancake. This is a much flavor-full, very easy and simple traditional fasting dish.
The dough is same as of sabudana vada, but this recipe uses no oil. Traditional recipe uses some ground peanuts, but I have not used them here as I ran out of peanuts. Sabudana pancake tastes very delicious and is quite filling too. This tapioca pancake recipe is contributed for 111th Foodie Monday Blog Hop where the theme is #DurgaPujaRecipes.
