Sago Thalipeeth For Vrat| Sabudana Thalipeeth

Sago thalipeeth for vrat: Sago or Sabudana thalipeeth is a simple, light Maharashtrian fasting dish made with tapioca pearls, boiled potato, crushed peanuts, and spices. 

It is a much-loved recipe from Maharashtra. However, the simplicity of the dish makes it a popular choice for breakfast, and lunch all over India. In many parts it is also called sabudana roti

Sago or sabudana or tapioca pearl is widely consumed during fasting(upvaas/vrat) days in India. It is a gluten-free, non-grain food and is a great source of energy, that keeps someone energized for a longer time. 

People who keep fasting, usually eat satvik food, made without grains, onion, and garlic. In some parts, people don’t even consume regular salt. They use rock salt or sendha namak instead. Though I don’t keep fasting. But I love this in my breakfast. 

Serving Suggestions

This sago thalipeeth is an ideal breakfast dish and could be served as a breakfast, after school snack, lunch or packed in the lunch box as well.

If making for vrat, then serve this thalipeeth along with any vrat chutney, raita or any vrat side dish of choice. It pairs well with plain curd as well. Here I have paired this with green chutney and tomato ketchup. As I have made this for my breakfast.

Instructions

• Soak the sabudana in enough water for 8-9 hours or overnight. They must be soft.
• Rinses the sabudana well in running water until the water runs clear. Drain really well to get rid of any excess water. Make sure there is no moisture left.
• Take the soaked, drained sabudana in a bowl.
• Add the mashed potatoes.
• Also add finely chopped coriander, curry leaves. green chili, roasted peanuts, and salt.
• Furthermore, add lime juice to the sabudana mixture. 
• Mash everything well with your hand to make like a dough. The dough should be non-sticky.
• Take a small portion from the dough and start gently pressing it over a butter paper or banana leaf to make a flat, thin, crack-free round shape. If it sticks, spread a few drops of oil. Make a hole in the center to make it cook faster.
• Heat a tawa or pan. Grease oil and gently place the butter paper upside down on the hot pan. Then slowly peel off the sheet.
• Add a dash of oil and cook over medium flame until golden brown spots appear on both sides. Repeat the steps until all done.
• Serve sabudana thalipeeth hot with your choice of side dish.
