Sabudana Vada
Sabudana Vada is a popular Maharashtrian Snack that people enjoy during Navratri Vrat/fasting, or Ekadashi or Shivratri. Takes just 10-minutes to make and is really tasty.
Equipment
- Non-stick Kadai
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Sabudana (Tapioca Pearls)
- 3 Large Potatoes washed, peeled and pressure cooked
- ½ Cup Peanuts
- 3 small Green Chilies chopped
- ½ Teaspoon Sendha Namak Rock Salt (ADJUST AS PER TASTE)
- 1 Teaspoon Kali Mirch Powder Black Pepper Powder
- 1 Cup Ground Nut Oil for Deep Frying (Adjust amount as per your requirement)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl take Sabudana. Pour some water and wash them clean. Discard the water.
- Now pour some freshwater in soaked Sabudana. Don't add too much water. The water level should be just 1cm higher than the level of Sabudana. Let it get soaked for 6 hours or until it gets soft (best overnight).
- Wash Potatoes. Peel them up and put them in the pressure cooker with just a little bit of water. Pressure cook until completely done. You can also boil them first and peel off the skin later. Bring them down to room temperature.
- In a small non-stick pan take some groundnut oil and as it gets hot add the peanuts. Fry the peanuts on high flame for just about 1-minute.Take it out in a mortar pestle and ground them coarsely. You can also cool them down to room temperature and roughly grind them in the mixer grinder.
- In a small bowl take your soaked Sabudana. Add Potatoes to it. Mash the Potatoes with a fork or your hands. Mix it well with Sabudana.Add chopped green chilies, followed by crushed peanuts.Season it with Senda Namak and some Kali Mirch Powder(Black Pepper Powder)
- Now take one spoon of Sabudana Vada batter in your hands and give it the desired shape. I have given it a round ball-like shape. You can also give it a disc-like-shape.
- In a Non-Stick Kadai, heat groundnut oil. Add the Sabudana vada in hot oil and fry them until both sides get golden brown.
- Take them out on a plate with tissue paper (so that it can soak excess oil) and serve with falhari peanut chutney or hari chutney.
