SABUDANA SEEKH KEBABS / FASTING KEBABS

This recipe is a fancy look of sabudana vada. Very simple and easy recipe with the same ingredients of sabudana vada. This light and crispy sabudana seekh kebab is not only fun to eat snack but also a preferred fasting food during fasting days and festivals like Navratri. This is also an easy kid’s snack that can be served in breakfast or packed in their lunch box. Instead of deep frying it’s grilled so  require less oil . So it’s healthy too. The crunchy peanuts that puncuate every bite are something I look forward to in the kebabs !! This is served on fasting days or you can enjoy them as a evening snack or for kitty parties….!!!  So next time when thinking about sabudana vadasjust roll the dough on skewers or seekh instead of making patties and grill them. Hope you like the recipe….Enjoy cooking !!!!
