How to make Sabudana Vada | Easy Sabudana Vada Recipe I spent a fairly large part of December living out of my suitcase traveling to Pune for work.

Its cliché that I call myself a diehard foodie, because there are many encounters I make from time to time when I tell myself “oh! I dislike that” or “it tastes gross…. this is yuck!”.
