Steps

1

First, rinse the tapioca pearls thoroughly and soak them in water for 3 hours until they are fully puffed.
2

Drain the soaked tapioca pearls in a strainer and let all the water dry out. Meanwhile, peel the boiled potatoes and mash them well.
3

Coarsely crush the roasted, peeled peanuts. Mix the crushed peanuts with green chilies, ginger, and cilantro. Add the chopped cilantro, green chilies, cumin seeds, and peanuts to the mashed potatoes.
4

Now add the tapioca pearls and mashed potatoes, then mix in the salt.
5

Mix everything together and shape the mixture into round patties.
6

Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry the sabudana vadas on medium heat until golden brown. Test-fry one or two vadas first. If they don’t break apart in the oil, you can fry several at once.
7

Serve the hot sabudana vadas on a serving dish. Enjoy with cilantro chutney.
