Ingredients

  • 1 cup sabudana/ sago/ tapioca pearls
  • 2 medium boiled potatoes
  • 1/3 cup roasted coarsely ground peanuts
  • 1 tsp ginger grated
  • 1-2 green chilies chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp cilantro leaves chopped

Instructions

  • Rinse sabudana in water and drain the water. Take new water and soak them for about 4 hours or until they swell and double in size. When pressed with your fingers, they should feel soft. Drain out the water if there is any left.
  • In a mixing bowl, take sabudana/tapioca pearls, boiled mashed potato, ground peanuts, grated ginger, chopped green chilies, cumin seeds, salt, sugar and lemon juice along with finely chopped cilantro.
  • Mix everything well using your hands. You should be able to make patties or balls out of the mix. If it feels dry by chance, add a tbsp of water.
  • Divide the mixture into equal portions and form flat patties or round golf ball sized.
  • Pre- heat the oil for frying in a pot or kadhai.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the sabudana tikkis/patties to the oil and fry them until they are golden on both sides. Do not overcrowd the oil. Fry few at a time so that they do not stick to each other.
  • Remove them on an absorbent paper.
  • Once you are done frying them all, serve them with chutney of your choice or with some yogurt.
  • I like to flavor yogurt with some salt, roasted cumin seeds, chaat masala and tiny pinch of red chili powder.
