Pro Tips for making Sabudana Upvas Chivda:
There are 2 variants of Nylon Sabudana , smaller and large variant . I have used smaller variant to make this chivda. As cooking time of smaller variant is very less . If you are choosing larger variant then make sure to cook for 4 -5 minutes more as it takes more time to cook. Also check the doneness of the cooked sabudana by tasting it. If not cooked properly then centre of the sabudana will be hard. So make sure to cook on medium heat and stir it in between using a spoon or spatula . Use a strainer to deep fry sabudana. Also depending on the size of the strainer add small amount of sabudana pearls for frying because it crowds after frying.
