Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sabudana (Tapioca pearls)
- 2 medium Boiled potatoes
- 0.5 cup Peanuts
- 2 small Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Oil for frying
Instructions
Rinse the sabudana under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps in removing excess starch.
In a large bowl, soak the sabudana in enough water to cover it for 5-6 hours or overnight.
After soaking, drain the sabudana completely to get rid of any excess water.
Roast the peanuts in a pan until golden brown, allow them to cool, and then grind coarsely.
Mash the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Add the drained sabudana, coarsely ground peanuts, finely chopped green chilies, cumin seeds, chopped coriander leaves, lemon juice, and salt to the potatoes.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to form a dough-like consistency.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into small flat discs or vadas.
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium flame.
Carefully slide in the vadas, a few at a time, and fry until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Remove the vadas with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot, garnished with extra coriander leaves and accompanied by chutney or yogurt.
