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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Drain any excess water from the soaked sabudana and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Mix everything well to form a dough-like consistency. Adjust salt and seasoning as per taste.
Step 5
Divide the mixture into 10 equal portions and shape them into small round patties about 2 inches in diameter.
Step 6
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, gently place the sabudana vadas in the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan and fry in batches if necessary.
Step 8
Cook the vadas for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the pan and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot with a side of Whole30-compliant chutney or dip of your choice.
