Ingredients:

  • 1 cup tapioca pearls (sabudana), soaked overnight
  • 1 cup semolina (rava)
  • 1/2 cup rice flour
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green chilies (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • Salt to taste
  • Water, as needed
  • Cooking spray or oil, for greasing the waffle iron

Instructions:

  1. Begin by soaking the tapioca pearls in enough water to cover them completely. Let them soak overnight or for at least 4-6 hours until they are soft and translucent.
  2. Once the tapioca pearls are soaked, drain any excess water and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the semolina, rice flour, chopped cilantro, chopped onion, chopped green chilies, grated ginger, and salt to the bowl with the tapioca pearls. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
  4. Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring continuously, until you achieve a thick batter consistency. The batter should be smooth and free of lumps.
  5. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  6. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or oil to prevent the waffles from sticking.
  7. Spoon the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly to cover the surface. Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles according to the manufacturer’s instructions until they are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and transfer them to a plate.
  9. Serve the savory sabudana waffles hot with your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
