🌿 Ingredients:
1 cup cilantro (stems okay, rinsed well)
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1–2 green chilies (adjust to spice level)
1–2 cloves garlic
1 inch ginger, peeled
1/2 tsp black salt
1/2 tsp chaat masala
1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder
Juice of 1/2 lime (or more to taste)
1/2 cup plain yogurt (for base: optional, for a creamier feel)
Salt to taste (optional adjustment after blending)

💡Pro Tip: Add 2–3 ice cubes when blending🧊(keeps it vibrant green)

Craving a deliciously crispy, golden snack packed with protein and flavor?✨ Dive into this easy Sabudana Vada recipe perfect for a quick and healthy bite! 🍽️🌱

Ingredient List

1 cup sabudana (tapioca pearls)
1 large potato
1 cup grated paneer
½ cup peanuts
1-2 green chilies, finely chopped
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoons coriander leaves, finely chopped
Salt to taste

1. Rinse 1 cup sabudana under running water until the water runs clear.
2. Soak sabudana in ½ to ¾ cup water for 4-6 hours or overnight.
3. Roast ½ cup peanuts until golden.
4. Cool, peel, and coarsely crush them.
5. Boil 1 large potato until just cooked. Peel and mash it.
6. In a mixing bowl, combine soaked sabudana, mashed potatoes, grated paneer
7. Add peanuts, 1-2 finely chopped green chilies, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves, and salt.
8. Mix well to form a dough. Take small portions and shape them into round vadas.
9. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F) and lightly grease the basket with oil.
10. Arrange the sabudana vadas in a single layer, brush with oil, and air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
11. Cook until golden and crispy, then serve hot with chutney or yogurt.
12. Serve hot with chutney or yogurt.

💡Pro Tips-
1. Soaking Sabudana: Different types of sabudana require varying soaking times, ranging from 2 to 8 hours. Ensure they are soaked until soft without any hardness inside.

2. It is important to check if the sabudana is soaked correctly and are ready to fry. Any negligence at this step may lead to burst of sabudana in the oil while frying the vadas. So gently press down the soaked sabudana to ensure they are not hard inside and soaked well. When you press down, they should ideally get mashed fully and be like flour, it should not have a hard center which will likely burst the pearls while frying.

3. Using the Right Potatoes: Opt for old potatoes, as newly harvested ones can become mushy and affect the vada's texture. Boil them carefully to avoid sogginess, which can cause the vadas to break while frying.
