Instructions

  • Soak tapioca pearls in such way that water just touches the pearls.Soak for minimum of 4 hours.Drain well and make sure there is not even a drop of water.
  • Pressure cook the potatoes,peel and mash them well.Potatoes should not contain water either.
  • Dry roast the peanuts,peel and crush them using mortar and pestle.
  • In a mixing bowl,take slit green chillies,ginger,cumin seeds,peanuts and cilantro leaves.Mix well
  • Add the drained tapioca pearls,mashed potatoes,rock salt,lemon juice and mix well.

  • Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Flatten 2-3 balls and deep fry until golden from both sides.Serve hot.

Notes

1.The recipe I have given here uses rock salt and no flour is used for binding as fasting recipe was requested.You can add normal salt but rock salt is fabulous in this recipes.It adds a sharp chaat taste and flavor.
2.These vadas take a little more time to cook.
3.While soaking tapioca pearls,just add enough water,if you add too much water,sago may turn pasty.
4.After draining,keep the pearls covered for 15-20 minutes to remove the excess moisture.
5.If you find the mixture very loose to shape you may add rice flour/rava but rice flour should not be added if you are making this recipe for fasting.
6.We had it with tomato ketchup,but I think even that should be avoided while fasting.
