Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sabudana (Tapioca pearls)
- 1 large Sweet potato, boiled and mashed
- 0.5 cup Roasted peanuts, coarsely ground
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 unit Green chili, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
Instructions
Rinse the sabudana under cold running water until the water runs clear. Soak them in 1 cup of water for about 5-6 hours or overnight until they are soft and can be mashed easily.
Drain any excess water from the soaked sabudana and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the boiled and mashed sweet potato, coarsely ground roasted peanuts, cumin seeds, chopped green chili, minced ginger, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix everything well to form a dough-like consistency. Adjust salt and seasoning as per taste.
Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions and shape them into small round patties about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, gently place the sabudana vadas in the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan and fry in batches if necessary.
Cook the vadas for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the pan and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Serve hot with a side of Whole30-compliant chutney or dip of your choice.
