Farali Sabudana Chivda – a tasty & crispy Namkeen/snack made from Nylon Sabudana (Tapioca Pearls). This Nylon Sabudana is easily available in local grocery stores. I’ve added Peanuts, Raisins and Dry Coconut to make this Chivda for Fasting Days. You can also season with Red Chilli Powder or other spices which you eat during Fasting Days. But, I’ve used Powder Sugar and Rock Salt only for seasoning. You can eat this Upvas Chivda during Vrat/Upvas/fasting days like Shravan, Navratri, Ekadashi etc.
