Sabudana vada - evening snack

An evening snack is something which I believe should be filling for college going teens. Especially when your children don't carry lunch but prefer salads fruits as lunch. A habit which we follow and are happy about the lifestyle change.

Well, I made sabudana vada from scratch today. Generally we make it with leftover sabudana upma.

Sabudana vada

Ingredients

Sabudana 1 cup

Boiled potato 2

Boiled sweet potato 1

Green chilli 2

Lemon extract from 1/2 piece of lemon

Ginger a small piece (grated)

Coriander leaves chopped 2 tbsp

Raw peanuts coarse powder 3 tbsp

Red chilli powder 1/2 tsp

Dry coriander powder 1/2 tsp

Garam masala 1/2 tsp

Salt as required

Tips

Soak sabudana in just enough water for 2 hours.

Use raw peanuts powder for volume and extra crunchiness.

Make sure you fry it just before serving. It should be eaten hot and when it's crunchy.

Method

Mix in all ingredients.

Smash potato, sweet potato, sabudana, all dry masalas, salt, chopped green chillies, ginger, coriander leaves, salt, red chilli powder, garam masala, peanut powder and lemon extract.

Make a soft non sticky dough. Add a little oil while kneading.

Keep oil for deep frying.

Make dough into approximately 20 parts, roll into small balls, use hands to flatten it, when oil is hot, carefully dip in 4 to 5 vadas.

Adjust heat, medium flame is sufficient, let the vadas get deep fried.

When they turn into crispy golden colour, remove using perforated ladle and place on kitchen napkin. Let it absorb excess oil.

Serve with green chutney or tamarind chutney or sweet and sour sauce.

A cup of freshly brewed filter coffee/black coffee or masala chai can also be served.
