Sabudana Vada
1 cup – Sabudana, 1 cup – Water for soaking, 1/4 tsp – Salt or rock salt, 4-5 no – Green chillies, 1tsp – Cumin seeds, 2 no – Medium-sized potatoes, 1/2 cup – Roasted peanuts, 1-2tbsp – Finely chopped coriander leaves, Oil for frying
*First wash sabudana with clean water 2-3 times. Soak it in the water overnight. The water level should be just an inch above the sabudana. Too much water will make the sabudana soggy and too less will not help in soaking it well. Different varieties of sabudana will need a little less or more time for soaking. So soak accordingly.
*Next day, check the sabudana. You will notice that the sabudana has puffed up and has become quite soft.
*Take a pan. Ad the roasted and coarsely ground peanuts, salt or rock salt, coarsely crushed cumin seeds and green chillies and finely chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything well.
*Lastly add the boiled, peeled and mashed or grated potatoes in parts and keep mixing into the sabudana mixture. The sabudana mixture is ready!
*Take some mixture in the hands and form a medium sized ball. Now gently press it to form a sabudana vada. Repeat till all the vadas are formed.
*While you shape the vadas, heat oil in a kadhai for frying.
*Check if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small portion of the mixture into the oil. If it puffs up immediately that means the oil is hot enough.
