Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sabudana (tapioca pearls)
- 2 medium, boiled and peeled Potatoes
- 0.5 cup, coarsely ground Roasted peanuts
- 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
- 2 finely chopped Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Coriander leaves
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Rock salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- for deep frying Oil
Instructions
Rinse the sabudana under running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Soak them in 1 cup of water for about 5 hours or overnight until they swell and become soft.
After soaking, drain any excess water from the sabudana and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the soaked sabudana, boiled and mashed potatoes, coarsely ground peanuts, grated ginger, chopped green chilies, cumin seeds, and rock salt.
Mix the ingredients well to form a dough-like consistency. Ensure that the mixture holds together when you form a ball.
Add the chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice to the mixture and mix again to combine the flavors evenly.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into flat, round patties or vadas.
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Once the oil is sufficiently hot, carefully slide in the vadas.
Fry the vadas in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch.
Remove the vadas using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve the sugar-free sabudana vadas hot, with mint chutney or yogurt dip.
