Ingredients

• 1 cup Sabudana (tapioca pearls)
• 0.5 cup Moong dal (split yellow gram)
• 0.5 cup Peanut powder
• 100 grams Paneer (cottage cheese), grated
• 2 medium Potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 inch Ginger, grated
• 0.25 cup Coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cups Oil for deep frying

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sabudana thoroughly in water until the water runs clear, then soak it in enough water to cover it for about 4-5 hours or until it is soft when pressed between fingers.

Step 2

Meanwhile, rinse and soak the moong dal in water for about 2 hours, then drain and keep aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked sabudana, drained moong dal, peanut powder, grated paneer, and mashed potatoes.

Step 4

Add the chopped green chilies, grated ginger, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, salt, and lemon juice to the mixture.

Step 5

Mix everything thoroughly until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed. You can adjust the seasoning at this point if needed.

Step 6

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into round flat vadas, ensuring they are compact and won't crumble while frying.

Step 7

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over a medium flame. Once the oil is hot, carefully slide in the vadas, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pan.

Step 8

Fry them until golden brown and crispy on both sides, turning occasionally for even cooking, which should take about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 9

Remove the vadas using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the high protein sabudana vadas hot with your choice of chutney or sauce as a delightful snack.
