Sabudana

Potatoes

Peanuts

Coriander leaves chopped

Cumin seeds

Green chilies chopped

Rock salt powdered

Lemon juice

Add cup sabudana to a wide bowl. You can optionally rinse them well twice.

step 1

Then pour cup water and soak sabudana for 4 to 6 hours depending on the kind. You can also soak overnight.

step 2

Some need only 2 hours of soaking while some need at least 5 hours.

step 3

Once they are soaked, take few pearls in between your thumb and forefinger.

step 4

Press down to check if they have softened. The pearls must get mashed well.

step 5

Make sure they are soaked well & softened otherwise unsoaked sabudana may burst in oil.

step 6

You can also bite and check. It should not be hard from inside. If you feel they are hard, soak them for a little longer.

step 7

Drain them completely to a colander and set aside.

step 8

Meanwhile roast peanuts until golden and aromatic. Cool completely.

step 9

Pulse them in a blender only once to get coarsely crushed peanuts. Keep aside.

step 10

Wash and peel potatoes. Boil them just until done and not too mushy or soggy.

step 11

Mash them. If the potatoes are mushy then the vadas may break. So cook them just al dente.

step 12

Mix together sabudana, mashed potato, peanuts, green chili, salt, cumin and coriander leaves. Add lemon juice (optional) and mix well.

step 13

If the dough turns sticky, then just grease your finger lightly.

step 14

Mixing well helps in binding the dough well and prevents the sabudana vada from breaking while frying.

step 15

Make 10 to 12 balls and then slightly flatten to make the patties or vada.

step 16

Do not make them too thin as they may break. Making then too thick will not cook them from inside.

step 17

Heat oil in a kadai until hot enough on a medium flame.

step 18

Drop a small portion of the dough to check if the oil is hot enough. The dough has to rise without browning quickly.

step 19

Next take 1 tsp of the mixture in your hand and roll it to a small vada.

step 20

Slide it to the hot oil to check if it doesn't disintegrate.

step 21

If the ball breaks, then add 1 tablespoon flour to the mixture and mix it well. Then shape them to vadas.

step 22

Slide the sabudana vada to hot oil one after the other. Do not crowd them all at one time. Slide only 2 to 3 depending on the size of your pan.

step 23

After adding the vadas, let them deep fry on a medium flame for a few minutes. Do not disturb them or touch them as they may break. When they firm up and become slightly golden, flip to the other side. Fry until golden and crisp.

step 24

The vadas will puff well and turn golden & crisp on the outside.

step 25

Drain them to a kitchen tissue or colander. Serve sabudana vada with green chutney.
