A low fat version of the Sabudana/sago vada made in a few drops of oil in an appe pan. The beautiful green color comes from the addition of fresh green cilantro adding a lot of flavor to the appe!

Sabudana/sago is a staple while fasting and since its not a grain, it is naturally gluten free. As much as I love Sabudana/sago Khichri and Sabudana/sago Vadas, the health freak in me is always looking to make it healthier and low fat by using less oil. I decided to make these in an appe pan instead of deep frying. It is vegan and a great appetizer for those looking for a gluten free option.

I had earlier shared a Sabudana Appe with Paneer and Cashew filling. It turned out so good that I decided to experiment some more with the recipe by adding fresh green cilantro,chilies,ginger and lemon juice. Gave such a burst of fresh flavors and beautiful green color to the appe.

One of my most searched recipe for fasting is the No Onion No Garlic Paneer Butter Masala. Here is my Collection of 20 Vrat/Upwas/ fasting recipes which includes recipes for the popular Vrat Ki Pakore Wali Kadhi. Vrat ke Dahi Vade in Appe Pan, Rajgira Aloo Paratha, No Onion Garlic Paneer ki Sabzi and Badaam ki Barfi with Almond Flour.

Here is the written recipe followed by the step by step pictorial one-

Notes

The appe need to be cooked on medium low flame. It needs to be moved and shifted in the cavities to ensure even browning.
