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
• 0 for deep frying Oil

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

After soaking, drain any excess water from the sabudana and set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients well to form a dough-like consistency. Ensure that the mixture holds together when you form a ball.

Step 5

Add the chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice to the mixture and mix again to combine the flavors evenly.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into flat, round patties or vadas.

Step 7

In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Once the oil is sufficiently hot, carefully slide in the vadas.

Step 8

Fry the vadas in batches until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch.

Step 9

Remove the vadas using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the sugar-free sabudana vadas hot, with mint chutney or yogurt dip.
