Note

Use boiled potatoes as a binding agent. Well mashed potatoes help to hold the sabudana mixture together and make the vadas soft inside.

Add roasted and crushed peanuts for more flavor and crunch. The peanuts also add to the texture and make the vadas tastier.

Gently mix the ingredients so that the sabudana pearls are not broken. If you overmix the mixture will be heavy.
