#javarisi muruku

[sinfullydesilicious]

Second post of this month’s theme, Diwali sweets and snacks recipes is 2 dishes with 1 common ingredient. Also, keeping in my mind, both the dishes should be diverse from each. Et voilà!!!, here I chose Sago/ Javvarisi/Sabudana as my common ingredient and came up with 2 interesting recipes– 1) Sago Mixture/ Javvarisi Mixture/Sabudana Chivda-It is a chatpata snack made with Nylon Sabudana/Javvarisi. This fasting snack turns out to be crispier, crunchier, which bursts out with a blend of flavours like spicy, sweet, and tangy. According to your vrat/fasting rules, you can decide upon the spices you want to add. This snack is highly consumed during Navratri and other fasting occasions. Do check my Sabudana khichdi, Sabudana vada, for your Farali recipes. 2) Sago Sticks/ Javvarisi Murukku/Sabudana Chakli-It is another snack I chose to make for this week. This snack involves regular Sabudana/Javvarisi which is used in Sabudana khichdi, Sabudana vada, porridge, or crackers. Essentially soak this Javvarisi/Sabudana in sour curd to give that extra tanginess to the Murukku/chaklis. This snack is a kurkure-like bite. It requires to refry to avoid burnt and undercooked murukku/chaklis. These Sago sticks are unique and stand out from other regular murukkus/chaklis in their taste and flavour due to the presence of sour curd soaked sagos. I used both Nylon and Regular Sabudana but in 2 different recipes. For Chivda/Mixture I used Nylon Sabudana. For Murukku/sticks, I used Regular Khichdi Sabudana, white opaque pearls. Don’t interchange the Sabudana varieties in these 2 recipes.  Use only that specific variety for that particular recipe. Relish these 2 snacks and enjoy this festive season with your friends and family.
