Ingredients
Check off items as you gather them- 1 cup sabudana (tapioca pearls)
- 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely crushed
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Oil for deep frying
Method / Preparation
Follow step-by-step instructions- Rinse the sabudana thoroughly and soak them in 1.5 cups of water for 4-5 hours or overnight until they are soft and plump. Drain any excess water completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked sabudana, mashed potatoes, crushed roasted peanuts, chopped green chilies, grated ginger, chopped coriander leaves, cumin powder, lemon juice, and salt.
- Mix all the ingredients well with your hands until everything is thoroughly combined and forms a firm dough-like consistency. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Divide the mixture into small, equal portions and roll them into desired pop or bite-sized shapes. You can make them round or cylindrical.
- Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a tiny piece of the mixture; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- Carefully slide the sabudana pops into the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Remove the fried sabudana pops with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve the crispy spiced Sabudana Pops hot with mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or ketchup.
