TAPIOCA(Big sabudana pearls steamed and deep oil fried pitha)

Sagoo sijha(STEAMED) and chhana(FRIED) manda====
sagoo is considered as a healthy staple diet
in odisha even it is given during pregnancy to generate milk
in fasting time we take as a staple diet as it keeps stomach cool
it doesnt form any gastronomical tendency 
so considering all these beautiful aspects and best qualities of sagoo made sagoo pithas in different way....

We had navratri just few days back
keeping fast and having no onion garlic stuff for 9 days 
sabudana compelled me to think about the  innovative recipes of sagoo.....
Being a foodie and great odia food lover  i always look for some 
odia new recipes and try to bring some changes and turn and twists
in odia recipes which can be loved by every one...
there is a proverb"idle mind is devil's workshop"
so my witty mind always works never stops for a minute =D 
everyday thinks to bring some changes in food which can be taste the best......
first the fried manda pitha recipe will be rolled on===

  


the ingredients are required for this oil fried manda===
2 big cups Tapioca / big pearls of sagoo
1 cup grated coconut
jaggery to taste
1/4th teaspoon green cardamom powder
salt to taste
oil for deep frying

method to make it more yummy====

first soak Tapioca pearls for 5 to 6 hrs

strain it in strainer and leave it in strainer for 15 to 20 mns

as not a single drop of water will be remained inside

grind and make a smooth dough of it 

here is the pic of perfect dough and neither you have to add water nor to cook to make this dough perfect just add pinch of salt and mash it properly....

now in a wok add grated and jaggery and green cardamom powder together
fry it in low medium flame till it changes  its natural colour and becomes little brown....
take small portion of dough and make ball 
and do it accordingly 
and take each ball and make a cover like
put little stuffing inside and cover it again from each side and 
give a ball shape again to it...
 heat your wok with refined oil
and deep fry them..
but remember it will not turn into brown as other manda pithas turn into..
almost its color will remain intact as white

now let me move to the steaming part of this same sagoo with
almost the same procedure but the only difference is above one is deep fried in oil but the bottom one will be steamed in idli mould or in any mould ......
but the making process is same...
