Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Rinse the 1 cup sabudana and soak in 1 cup water for 4 hours or overnight until soft. Drain well.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, mix the soaked sabudana, 1 mashed potato, 0.5 cup crushed peanuts, 1 chopped green chili, and 0.5 tsp salt until a dough forms.

  3. Step 3

    Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches wide and 0.5 inch thick.

  4. Step 4

    Heat 0.5 cup oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry the patties in batches until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
