Crispy on the outside and soft in the inside Sabudana Vada are the perfect snack. They are made with sabudana, potatoes, peanuts and some other ingredients. Such a simple dish and delicious flavors.

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.
