Until recently I didn't know that they are mostly carbohydrates and have minimal nutritional value! On the other hand, they are delicious, especially in these cutlets! And you can get your protein from the nuts! :)
Sago Cutlets
1/2 cup Sago Pearls
4 small Potatoes, boiled, peeled and mashed
2 Green Chillies, chopped fine
2 tbsp Cilantro Leaves, chopped fine
3/4 cup Bread Crumbs
Salt to taste
1/4 cup Nuts, crushed (almonds or peanuts or cashews work well)
Soak the sago for about 8 hours. Drain the sago and dry on a tea towel.
Mix together the sago, mashed potato, chillies, cilantro, salt, bread crumbs and nuts.
Roll them into walnut-sized balls and flatten to form a cutlet shape. You can make them as large or as small as you'd like - smaller ones cook faster.
Heat about a teaspoon of oil on a skillet and place the cutlets, a few at a time. Allow to cook until slightly browned and flip over, until both sides are golden brown.
Serve hot with chutney. The cutlets are great the same day. If you are saving them for later, store in the refrigerator and heat in a toaster oven for a few minutes before serving.

You're right, until recently even I was not aware that they lacked nutritional content and they suck up waay too much oil! But these are majorly yummy and sometimes that's all that counts!
wow..a different yummy one..have a gift for u..please check it
Looks very different and a yummy cutlet..I love the idea of adding nuts to it :)
I have never made anything with sago and this looks really yumm.
I make these sometimes but not often. Looks so yummy, can't wait to try it again! :)
Quite a different cutlet, love the addition of nuts..
I have seen sago cutlets that are deep fried, but this looks healthy+tasty!
How different and truly delicious sounding.
yummy !! great with green chutney

I adore little cutlets like this, though I've never cooked with sago. Something I would be sure to like though.
The cutlets look perfect. They are so much better that the deep fried vadas. Have bookmarked this one.
They look wonderful. I love sabudana because of the crushed nuts, this would be a great twist on that.
cutlet looks yummy....
the bright side is that you have defattened the deep fried sabudana wada, the dark is that it is still a carb bomb,but sometimes isn't that exactly what we want:)
First, I didn't know that they both were different. Secondly I have not prepared anything with sago as the main ingredient. We used it only for vadams in our house and ocassionally my grandmother would soak it along with lentils while grinding adai. It gave such a crispy and great adais that everybody would ask her the recipe.
As Rashmi as mentioned frying it in a tava definitely makes it little bit healthy.
I think my mom made these once and they were darn tasty.
Thanks everyone. Yes, the nuts definitely add a nice crunch to the cutlets.
Ranjani - yea yea - taste is great, but it wouldve been nice to discover something that was healthy and tasted great

Lavanya - thanks
Delhibelle - Thanks - can't deep fry for the life of me.
Madhuram - Yeah tapioca and sabudana are very different. What a great idea to use it in the adai mix!
Bharti - yeah they're so good!
looks mouth-watering.
Totally new recipe to me. I had no clue that one cud fix cutlet out of sago...nice one, dude.
I have had sabudana vadas that are deep fried. never tried it this way. looks awesome
Beautiful looking cutlets. better than the deep fried ones.
they hold shape this well? never would've guessed. i have a packet lying around somewhere. the only way i make them is khichdi. this is worth trying.
Uma - thanks
Malar Gandhi - Thanks. Yea - sago is very adaptable.
Deesha - thank you. a little more healthy than the deep fried version.
Lakshmi Venkatesh - Yup, much better.
bee - yup, they hold shape very well - infact they act as a binding agent when shaping the cutlets. try it sometime!
oh, we call that sago in my country too! but I've never had those in savory applications.. only in drinks and desserts... pretty interesting.
My mom always made Upma with them! This seems so easy to make! Will try :)
Jescel - Oh that is interesting. I've never had it in a sweet/ dessert. Cool.
A &N - Upma sounds great too! Thanks for the idea!
I've had loads of this as a child... and also bought it on the train in Bombay... there's this lady who brings the stuff everyday to VT station :)
Skillet frying is a great idea. I usually make this: http://chefatwork.blogspot.com/2007/07/sabudana-khichdi.html
Raaga - You've gotta skillet fry the stuff. Sago soaks up too much oil, so deep frying makes them soggy and oily!
I am going to make this cutlet and send it to Ashwini's MBP-Snacks and Savouries event. Will let you know how the cutlet turned out. I have tasted deep fried ones called sabudana vada, a maharashtrian speciality, I guess. Seeing shallow fried one for the first time. Thanks for sharing this recipes.
Priya
Priya Narasimhan - Oh didnt know sabudana vadas are a Maharashtrian specialty. that's cool. I hope you enjoy it!
Love sabudana vadas! The vadas look so yummy.
homecooked - Thanks!
I love these sabudana vadas and the similar khichdi Maharashtrians make when they are fasting.
That your version isn't deep fried makes it more appealing.
Hi Arundhati,
I made the cutlets today. It was awesome. I also sent this as my entry to Ashwini's MBP-Snacks and Savouries event. Do have a look at my blog.
Thanks.
Priya.
Aparna - I've never had the khichdi...must try it someday! Thanks
