  2. Pressure cook the washed potatoes till soft. The potatoes should not be mushy but just cook till soft. Peel and grate the potatoes in a large bowl.

  4. Make large lemon sized balls out of the mixture and lightly flatten them. Place them in the fridge for a few minutes.

  5. Heat oil for deep frying in a heavy bottomed vessel. Once the oil turns hot, reduce flame to medium and place 3 to 4 vadas carefully in the hot oil.

  6. Deep fry till golden brown in color and carefully remove them and place them on absorbent paper.

  7. Serve warm with chutney of your choice.

Tips

  •   Try to use large or medium sized sago pearls instead of the tiny variety.
  •   You can also add 1/2 tsp cumin seeds and 1/2 tsp grated ginger to the mixture.
  •   If arrowroot powder is not available, you can add kuttu ke atta (buckwheat flour) if you are eating the vadas as fasting food.
  •   If you are not eating the vadas as part of your fast, you can add a tbsp of rice flour to the mixture for a crisper texture.
