Anjappar Sabudana / Sago Tapioca Large 300g

Anjappar Sabudana Tapioca Large – Premium Large Sago Pearls for Indian Cooking

Anjappar Sabudana Tapioca Large 500g is a premium quality large-grade sabudana (sago) — the essential Indian pantry staple used in a wide range of traditional dishes, from the beloved sabudana khichdi to creamy sabudana kheer and crispy sabudana vada. Made from the starch of the cassava (tapioca) root, these large, round, pearlescent sago pearls are prized for their superior texture — they soak up flavours beautifully and cook to a satisfying, slightly chewy consistency that smaller grades cannot match. Anjappar Sabudana Tapioca Large is the preferred choice for those who want the best results in their fasting foods and everyday Indian recipes.

Sabudana holds a special place in Indian cuisine — it is one of the most important ingredients consumed during Hindu fasting days (vrat), including Navratri, Ekadashi, Mahashivratri, and other religious observances. The large pearl variety is particularly valued for sabudana khichdi and vada, where the bigger pearls hold their shape better during cooking and provide a more satisfying bite. Anjappar Sabudana Tapioca Large 500g is now available at DesiBasket for delivery across Germany and Europe.

How to Use

Soaking (Essential First Step)

Before cooking, Anjappar Sabudana Tapioca Large 500g must be soaked. Rinse the pearls under cold water, then soak in just enough water to cover them (the water should be absorbed, not pooled) for 4–6 hours or overnight. The pearls are ready when they are soft, swollen, and can be pressed flat between your fingers without a hard centre. Proper soaking is the key to perfect results.

Sabudana Khichdi (Savoury Fasting Dish)

1. Soak the sabudana as described above. Drain any excess water.
2. Heat ghee or oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
3. Add finely chopped green chillies and curry leaves.
4. Add boiled, diced potatoes and cook for 2 minutes.
5. Add the soaked sabudana, crushed roasted peanuts, salt (or sendha namak for fasting), and lemon juice.
6. Stir gently on medium heat for 3–5 minutes until the pearls turn translucent and slightly sticky.
7. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.

Sabudana Kheer (Sweet Dessert)

1. Soak the sabudana for 2–3 hours until softened.
2. Bring full-fat milk to a gentle simmer in a heavy-bottomed pan.
3. Add the soaked sabudana and cook on low heat, stirring frequently, until the pearls are fully translucent and the kheer thickens.
4. Add sugar to taste, cardamom powder, and saffron strands.
5. Garnish with chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios) and serve warm or chilled.

Sabudana Vada (Crispy Fritters)

Soak and drain the sabudana, then mix with mashed potato, crushed peanuts, green chilli, cumin, and sendha namak. Shape into flat patties and shallow-fry or deep-fry until golden and crispy on both sides. Serve with green chutney or yoghurt.

Storage Tips

Store in a cool, dry, airtight container away from moisture and direct sunlight. Sabudana absorbs moisture easily, which can cause clumping. Best consumed within 6–12 months of purchase.
