Sabudana vada

Sabudana vada
Sabudana vadas have been my favourite since childhood... I tried it once and my vadas were a disaster. Last week my mom in law was here and I demanded her delicious sabudana vadas. They were awesome and I have to share the recipe.
Ingredients
  • Sabudana/Sago one cup
  • 4 medium sized potatoes boiled
  • Raw Peanuts quarter cup
  • 3 large Green chillies
  • Jeera/cumin seeds 2 spoons
  • Pinch of Asafoetida/Hing
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for frying

Procedure

  • Soak sabudana in water just enough to cover it. Excess water will cause it to split in oil. Let it soak for 5-6 hours.
  • After 5-6 hours the sabudana should have soaked all the water.drain any excess water if present.
  • Peel the boiled potatoes .
  • Mash the potatoes and add them to the sabudana
  • Finely chop the green chillies and add it to the mixture above.
  • Add jeera and asafoetida and salt to taste.
  • Coarsely chop the raw peanuts into smaller pieces.It is better if the peanuts do not have skin.
  • Add the peanuts and mash the mixture till it becomes homogenous.
  • Now as soon as the mixture is ready , make small flat vadas and fry in oil. Do not let the mixture stay for long else it will drink a lot of oil. One should make the mixture just before frying for vadas to not drink oil.
  • Serve hot with green chutney(separate recipe)
