Ingredients

(For Sabudana vada)

  • Sabudana: 150gms Soaked for 5-6hours
  • Potato: 5-6pcs boiled
  • Water chestnut flour: 100gm
  • Kashmiri red chili powder: 1tbs
  • Rock salt: 1tbs
  • Green chili: 4pcs chopped
  • Fresh coriander: a handful chopped
  • Oil for frying

(For chaat preparation)

  • Green chutney: as per taste
  • Cumin seeds: as per taste roasted
  • Red chili powder: as per taste
  • Rock salt: as per taste
  • Pomegranate: for garnish

Method:

Step 1

  • In a medium bowl take the boiled potatoes and mash then using your hands or a masher to a smooth state. Add chopped green chilies, Kashmiri red chili powder, rock salt and fresh coriander and mix it well.
  • Now, add water chestnut flour and knead it well. Gradually add sabudana and make a nice mixture.

Step 2

  • Make small round balls out of the mixture and give them the shape of your choice (I made flat round vadas)
  • Turn the gas on, place a kadhai and pour oil and heat up for frying. Place the vadas in the heated oil and fry on medium flame while stirring lightly for around 10-12mins. Turn around and fry nicely on both side.
  • Take them out of the kadhai on a tissue paper so the excess oil drains off.

Step 3

Now place 3 vadas on a plate. Pour curd on top of it as much you like.  Put a little green chutney and sprinkle a little red chili powder, a little rock salt, roasted cumin seeds (crushed) and a few pomegranates. It looks yummy. Go On Indulge! Happy cooking!

Go On Indulge! Happy cooking!

Notes:

  1. Sabudana and Water chestnut flour both are considered apt food for fasting that’s why it’s a chaat prepared especially during Navratras.
  2. Rock salt is a item that could be eaten during fast as well.
  3. Vadas need to be fried slowly on medium heat so they are crispy on the outside and cooked well inside.
