Ingredients
For the Sabudana Vada
- 1 cup Tapioca Pearl also known as sago, tapioca pearls
- 1/2 cup Peanuts roasted
- 2 Potatoes medium sized, boiled and mashed
- 2 Chilies finely chopped, green
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds roasted
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tbsp Coriander finely chopped (dhania)
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Pepper optional, black, freshly ground
- Cooking Oil as needed, for deep frying
Instructions
Preparing the Sabudana
- Soak the sabudana in enough water to cover for at least 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight. Drain thoroughly, ensuring no excess water remains. This is crucial for the vada's texture.
Roasting and Grinding Peanuts
- Roast the peanuts in a dry pan until fragrant and crisp. Remove the skins and grind them coarsely using a mortar and pestle or a food processor.
Combining the Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine the drained sabudana, mashed potatoes, roasted cumin seeds, coarsely ground peanuts, chopped green chilies, lemon juice, coriander leaves, salt, and black pepper (if using). Mix gently until well combined. Do not overmix.
Shaping and Frying the Vadas
- Gently form small balls from the mixture. Flatten each ball slightly to create a patty shape. Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Carefully slide the vadas into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Frying and Serving
- Fry the vadas until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with chutney or yogurt. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Sabudana Vada
- Proper Soaking: Thoroughly draining the sabudana is key to preventing soggy vadas. Excess moisture will make them difficult to shape and fry.
- Don't Overmix: Gently combine the ingredients. Overmixing will make the vadas tough.
- Oil Temperature: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying, but avoid overheating. Medium heat is optimal for achieving a golden-brown crispiness without burning.
- Serving Suggestions: Elevate your Sabudana Vada experience with a side of tamarind chutney, mint chutney, or plain yogurt.
