Ingredients
- Sabudana -1 cup
- Boiled potatoes - 3
- Cumin seeds - ½ tsp
- Green Chillies - 3
- Roasted Groundnuts - ½ cup
- Salt - according to your taste
- Sugar - 1 tsp (optional)
- Few coriander strands
- Oil for deep frying
Directions
- Wash sabudana in clean water and soak it for around 3 to 4 hours till it absorbs water and becomes soft (Tip- while soaking sabudana water should be the just exact the level of sabudana if you are taking 1 cup of sabudana then water will be around ¾ th cup )
- After the sabudana becomes soft drain out any excess water and spread the sabudana on a strainer .
- Now dry roast the groundnuts till it changes its colour a bit or you can also hear the popping sound of groundnuts (Tip- Groundnuts should be roasted on a low flame )
- Grind the groundnuts to a coarse powder ( Don’t grind it to long time otherwise groundnuts will start releasing oil)
- Mash the boiled potatoes.
- Put all the ingredients to the soaked sabudana and mix it well .don’t add water or else the mixture becomes soggy and we can’t deep fry it .
- Now take a lemon sized mixture and shape it in the form of a medium size tikkis and deep fry them in hot oil few at a time.
- Deep fry them in medium flame frying them in slow flame they absorb more oil and frying them in high flame they turn brown soon.
- Remove them on a tissue paper so that extra oil is absorbed and serve them hot with any sauce of your choice or green chutney .
