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
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the sabudana under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps in removing excess starch.
Step 2
In a large bowl, soak the sabudana in enough water to cover it for 5-6 hours or overnight.
Step 3
After soaking, drain the sabudana completely to get rid of any excess water.
Step 4
Roast the peanuts in a pan until golden brown, allow them to cool, and then grind coarsely.
Step 5
Mash the boiled potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Step 6
Add the drained sabudana, coarsely ground peanuts, finely chopped green chilies, cumin seeds, chopped coriander leaves, lemon juice, and salt to the potatoes.
Step 7
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to form a dough-like consistency.
Step 8
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into small flat discs or vadas.
Step 9
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium flame.
Step 10
Carefully slide in the vadas, a few at a time, and fry until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Step 11
Remove the vadas with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 12
Serve hot, garnished with extra coriander leaves and accompanied by chutney or yogurt.
