After rinsing  transfer the sabudana in a bowl and then add some water. Make sure that the water downs the sabudana. You should be able to see the water on the surface. Now cover it up and keep it aside for the next 3-4 hours. I usually prefer to keep the sabudana soaked overnight and make it for breakfast.
  3.  After 3-4 hours our sabudana must have soaked up all the water and will be looking very nice and puffy.
  4. Now take some peanuts and dry roast them in a pan for 4-5 minutes or until they start showing some color. Now keep them aside and let them cool off a bit. Once they are at room temperature using both the hands remove the peanut cover.

  2. Now lets add ½ tbsp salt ,1 tbsp sugar, ½ lime juice, The ginger Chili paste, Cilantro and the mashed potato. Mix well
  3. Once the sabudana mix starts to form into a dough, make small round vada shaped balls, and keep aside.
  4. heats some oil for frying.  
  5. To check if the oil is hot, add some of the sabudana mix into the hot oil and if it comes up immediately then that means that oil is ready for frying.

  7. once they start looking golden for all sides its time to take them out and place it on a paper napkins so that any extra oil gets sucked out it.
