How to Prepare Baked Sabudana Vada: Indian Tapioca Fritters [Vegan, Grain-Free]

  1. Wash the sabudanas well under running water. Add approximately 1/2 cup of water, just enough to cover them while they soak. Let them soak for 3 hours or until the sabudanas are soft when you try to mash them with your fingers. You can also leave them in the refrigerator to soak overnight. If there is any extra water left, drain it. If the sabudana is still hard, let soak for a few more hours.
  2. Dry roast the peanuts in a skillet. Remove the skin and transfer to the blender to turn the peanuts into a coarse powder.
  3. Transfer the mashed potatoes, soaked sabudanas, peanut powder, and all other ingredients except the oil into a mixing bowl. Mix it well until it forms a dough. Adjust spice levels to your preference.
  4. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease your palms and form the patties with your hands.Transfer them to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush each fritter with oil.
  5. Flip the fritters gently with a spatula after 30-35 minutes in the oven. When it turns golden brown at the top, brush with more oil and let the other side turn golden brown too. This will take another 20-25 minutes.
