SabudhanaVada_H Sabudhana wadas are an incredible Indian street food snack that hails from Maharastra that  is vegetarian and also gluten free. In North America, tapioca is all the rage from Tapioca snacks to bubble tea. In India Sabudhana or Tapioca pearls have been enjoyed for generation as a snack, breakfast food and even in desserts. This vada is sold by street vendors and stores selling savoury snacks and is very popular for it’s taste and crunch. Although it’s typically enjoyed at a tea time snack, it can also be served at a party and is certainly very impressive looking with it’s Sago pearl studded exterior.
