    How to Prepare Sabudana Vada: Indian Fried Dumplings [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

    1. Soak the tapioca pearls in water for 2-3 hours. Drain any excess water from them and set aside.
    2. Peel the potato and then grate them. Squeeze the grated potato to remove any moisture and transfer to a bowl.
    3. Add the tapioca pearls, ginger, chopped green chilis, salt, red chili powder, asafoetida/garlic powder/onion powder, coriander leaves, and chat masala, and mix well.
    4. Now, add the rice flour and mix well. The mixture is now ready.
    5. Heat oil for frying. See that at least 40 percent of the pan is covered with oil.
    6. Make small balls out of the mixture and flatten them with the palm of your hand. Set aside.
    7. Once the oil is hot, fry the flattened pieces on medium to medium-high heat, until they become crispy and golden brown on both the sides.
    8. Transfer the vada to paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Repeat the process for remaining mixture.
    9. The sabudana vada is now ready. Serve hot.
