  1. In a bowl, take the sabudana. Add water, the water turns white due to the starch. Wash sabudana multiple times till water runs clear

  17. Roast the tikkis. Apply some oil in between. Roast the tikkis on both sides till golden
  18. Serve them hot with khatta-meetha chutney or falaari chutney
