Sabudana Vada

Most people eat it during fasts, but i just love the snackiness of it :). It does take some prep time though since the Sabudana needs to soak. So you need to plan at least 2 hours in advance.

You need:

1. Sabudana - 1 cup (soak for at least two hours)
2. Boiled potatoes - 4 small or 2 medium
3. Green chilli - 1 - finely chopped
4. Roasted unsalted peanuts - 2 tbsp (optional)
5. Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
6. Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
7. Salt to taste
8. Bread crumbs/ Maida/ Rice flour  - whatever is available to coat the vadas before frying
9. Oil to deep fry

How to:

1. Wash the soaked sabudana till all the starch is gone and only the pearls remain
2. Crush the peanuts
3. Mash the potatoes
4. In a bowl mix all ingredients (except the coating ingredients)  and knead well till it sticks together
5. Make small patties and roll them in the bread crumbs
6. Heat oil in a deep pan. When it's really hot, add the vada's to fry till they are a darker shade of brown
7. Serve hot with green chutney
