WATCH HOW TO MAKE SABUDANA MILLET THALIPEETH:
We’ll start by adding grated sweet potato, sabudana pearls, chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts, some spices, along with oil, ginger, green chili, yogurt for sourness, lemon juice, and millet flour. Use your hands to work this mixture so the sweet potatoes release their water and now we’re ready to pan fry these.
Heat some oil and add your mixture. Flatten this gently and form a small hole in the middle to help it get more crisp and cook evenly. Cover this and let cook until nice and golden brown. Flip these over and add another drizzle of oil so they’re super crunchy.

- 1 big sweet potatoes , grated
- 1/2 cup sabudana
- 1/2 cup millet flour , I used barnyard millet flour, but you can use jowar, bajra or ragi too
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- 1/4 cup peanuts , coarsely crushed
- 2 tbsp cilantro , finely chopped
- 2 tsp oil
- 2 green chilies , finely minced
- 1 inch ginger , grated
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp roasted cumin powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp water , if needed
-
Rinse sabudana pearls in cold water, 3-4 times till the water is clear and all starch is rinsed off. Soak them in a wide bowl for 3 to 4 hours, with enough water to just cover them. They will absorb water and double in size. Press them and check that they are not hard from inside. The water should be full absorbed by this time. In case, your sabudana is done, but they are still wet then spread them on a kitchen towel until they are totally dry.
-
In a bowl, add in all the ingredients except the water. Use your hands to gently mix this together and you should see the water from the sweet potatoes start to release. Add more water if needed 1 tbsp at a time to form a batter.
-
Heat oil in a pan on medium heat and add in a big spoonful of your batter. Use the back of a spatula to form a hole in the middle so it cooks evenly. Drizzle a little oil on top, cover, and let crisp up on one side for 3-4 minutes. Flip this over and add another drizzle of oil. Let cook for another 2-3 minutes and these are ready! Enjoy!

Pair it with chutneys and any raita of your choice to make it a meal. I love them with a simple yet flavorful pumpkin raita!

Hi, Nidhi!
Is the tapioca super important for texture? I was wondering if maybe it could be omitted in case I have a hard time finding it in my grocery store. When I grew up in Brazil those pearls were super common but here where I live, not so much….
sabudana makes it crunchy and also helps in binding. you can omit it, just increase the quantity of flour (you can use any flour of your choice or even besan) for the binding. you can also add more veggies to it too.
Fantastic..pls give recipe of pumpkin raita.
