Ingredients

½ cup tapioca pearls (sabudana)
4 potatoes medium sized
½ cup roasted peanuts without skin
½ tsp black pepper powder
1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
2-3 tbsp chopped green coriander leaves
2 green chilies or as per taste
Salt as per taste
Cooking oil for deep frying

Instructions

Wash and soak sabudana in water and keep aside for around 1 hour. After 1 hour discard the excess water.
Roughly grind the peanuts in a grinder. Boil, peel, and mash the potatoes. Finely chop the green chilies.
In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, soaked sabudana, ground peanut, green chilies, coriander leaves, pepper powder, and salt. Mix well.
Take lemon size balls of this mixture in your hand and slightly press between your palms to give a thick disc-like shape.
Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the discs. You can also shallow fry them or use an air fryer.
Take them out on a tissue paper to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with chutney or any dip/ sauce of your choice.
