Instructions
 

  • Soak the Sabudana: Start by soaking the sabudana in enough water to cover it. Let it soak for minimum two hours, then drain off any excess water.

  • Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the soaked sabudana, mashed potatoes, ground peanuts, ginger, green chilies, coriander leaves, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly to form a dough-like consistency.

  • Shape the Wadas: Divide the mixture into 16 equal parts, shaping them into lemon-sized balls. Flatten each ball slightly between your palms.
  • Deep Fry: Heat enough oil in a kadai (deep frying pan) and fry the wadas in hot oil until they turn golden brown. Make sure to fry them on medium heat so they cook evenly.
