Instructions
Take sago in a bowl and cover it with water. let it soak for 3 to 4 hours. Drain it and set aside.
Now you have to cook the potatoes. You can cook it on stove top or in microwave. I peeled and chopped the potatoes and took them in a microwave safe bowl. I poured in little water, cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and microwaved it for 5 mins. Now i drained the water and mashed it with a fork.
Take roasted peanuts in a mixer and grind them coarsely. I had roasted peanuts on hand, if your peanuts are raw, roast them on a pan till it turns little golden and use it.
Now in a bowl, take the drained sago, mashed aloo, crushed peanuts, chopped green chillies, grated ginger, coriander leaves and salt. Mix well using your hands.
If the mix is too wet, add some rice flour and mix.
Now shape them into small balls and flatten them..
Heat oil for deep frying.Drop the vada in hot oil and fry till golden.
