Sabudana thali pet (Sago Pancake)

During festivals in India (like Shiv Ratri and Janmashtami, Holi etc) Most people don't eat meat those days (totally vegetarian) and some eat food which does not contain lentils and rice.  
Popular food eaten during religious and fasting events (in india) are sabudana, curd, fruits etc. .     

Sabudana Utthapam/ pancakes/ thali pet:

This dish is a combination of all sabudana, curd and potato and just 2 of these pancakes is filling and keeps you from getting hungry. In many households onions too are not eaten during these fasting/ religious days. So if you don't want to add onions you can skip it. You can add julienne ginger instead.

Ingredients:

  • Sabudana (sago): 200 grams
  • 2 medium sized onion chopped (optional)
  • 1 boiled potato
  • 2 green chillies
  • 1 Tbsp of lemon juice  
  • 1 cup of curd
  • 1 tsp of sugar
  • Coriander leaves
  • Salt (as per required) 

Procedure:

  • Soak the sabudana for 4-5 hours, they get soggy and enlarged.
  • Now add all the ingredients and mix them together. Smash the mixture as far as possible with your hand/ spoon.
  • The paste should not be too runny or too thick and tight . If you feel it has become very thick, add little water.
  • Potato is a binding agent which will hold all the ingredients tight and will give a proper shape
  • Heat a pan & add 1 tsp of oil and spread a spatula full of this batter onto the pan, Make a nice round shape and let it cook on medium flame for some time . 
  • Cover the pan with a lid so that it gets heat from all the sides. 
  • Now add another tsp of oil from top and turn over your sabudana thalipet carefully with the help of 2 spatulas. 
  • Follow the same procedure as before and cook till this side gets little crispy. 
  • Serve hot with little butter from the top.
