Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sabudana (tapioca pearls)
- 0.5 cup Moong dal (split yellow gram)
- 0.5 cup Peanut powder
- 100 grams Paneer (cottage cheese), grated
- 2 medium Potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 inch Ginger, grated
- 0.25 cup Coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Oil for deep frying
Instructions
Rinse the sabudana thoroughly in water until the water runs clear, then soak it in enough water to cover it for about 4-5 hours or until it is soft when pressed between fingers.
Meanwhile, rinse and soak the moong dal in water for about 2 hours, then drain and keep aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked sabudana, drained moong dal, peanut powder, grated paneer, and mashed potatoes.
Add the chopped green chilies, grated ginger, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, salt, and lemon juice to the mixture.
Mix everything thoroughly until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed. You can adjust the seasoning at this point if needed.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round flat vadas, ensuring they are compact and won't crumble while frying.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over a medium flame. Once the oil is hot, carefully slide in the vadas, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pan.
Fry them until golden brown and crispy on both sides, turning occasionally for even cooking, which should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the vadas using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the high protein sabudana vadas hot with your choice of chutney or sauce as a delightful snack.
