Tapioca Pancake | Sabudana Thalipeeth – No oil recipe

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.

Sabudana is full of energy and can be safely had by any individual, irrespective of age. In festive seasons, dishes related to sabudana or tapioca pearl is much common in every household of India. The sabudana pancake is a delicious Maharashtrian cuisine which also named as sabudana thalipeeth.

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.
