Sabudana (Tapioca Pearls) Cutlets are probably the best cutlets one can ever have. The crunch of fried sabudana with the softness of potatoes gives it a perfect texture. It’s a little rich but still the best.
Preparation Time: | 40 minutes |
Servings: | 6 |
Difficulty: | Medium |
Ingredients
Sabudana (Tapioca Pearls) | 1 cup |
Boiled Potato | 1.5 cup grated |
Raw Peanuts | 1/2 cup |
Green Chillies | 2 |
Jeera (cumin) seeds | 1 tsp |
Salt | 1 tsp |
Red Chilli Powder | 1/2 tsp |
Lime | 1 |
Vegetable Oil | For frying |
Fresh Coriander Leaves | 1/2 cup |
Method
- Wash sabudana in water and then soak it for a coupl eof hours in 1/2 cup of water. In a few hours all the water will get absorbed. It is very important to follow this ration for crispy cutlets. Soak 1 cup sabudana in 1/2 cup water only.
- Roast peanuts lightly in a pan until they turn lightly brown.
- Rub peanuts together to get rid of the thin red cover of the peanuts.
- Grind the peanuts roughly and keep aside.
- Boil the potato, peel it and grate it.
- Roast jeera and grind it coarsely. Keep aside.
- Wash and chop the coriander leaves and the green chillies.
- Mix sabudana, grated potatoes, ground peanuts, coriander leaves, green chillies, salt, ground jeera and red chilli powder together. Squeeze in the juice of one lime.
- Heat oil in a wok.
- Take about a walnut size potato mixture and shape it like a cutlet, though you can make any shape you like.
- Slowly drop a few cutlets in the hot oil. Do not disturb the cutlets
- After 2-3 minutes when the cutlets are slightly brown, gently turn them over. Fry till golden brown from both sides.
- Serve hot with fresh mint chutney or ketchup.
Notes:
- Make sure that the oil is very hot otherwise the cutlets will splatter and soak a lot of oil.
- Do not turn over the cutlets too many times. They splatter easily.
- These cutlets soak a bit of oil but they are heavenly. They almost taste like McDonald’s Hash Browns.
