    Sabudana Chivda Recipe - Nylon sabudana are fried till crispy and puffy, then mixed with nuts, salt, pepper, sugar and green chilies. This makes good snack for navratri vrat or any other Hindu fasting days.

    Sabudana Chivda Recipe (How to Make Sabudana Chivda)

    Here I have added peanuts and cashew nuts. You can also add raisins, dalia (roasted chana dala), almonds etc as per your preference and liking.

    These fried nylon sabudana is bland in taste but they are real crispy. Even though the real taste is bland, it tastes good after adding salt, sugar and pepper. Sugar plays a big role, please do not skip it.

    If your family eats red chili powder, amchur powder during vrat, fasting. Then you can add them for more flavors.

    For the variation, you can fry handful of sun dried potato sali and add into the chivda.

    7) Add around 2 tablespoons of nylon sabudana into the hot oil.

    8) Within some seconds, they will float on top, puff up and looks they are fried. But they are not. It takes some time. If removed from the oil early then it stays raw and hard from the center. So take your time and keep moving them in the oil for even frying and cook till they are fried well.

        Yes, nylon sabudana is just for frying to make chivda. These are bigger in size and have transparent white color.
        Other regular sabudana is for vada, khichdi, kheer etc.
