Sago Fritters (Saggubiyyam Vadalu)

A delicious snack with Sago/Saggubiyyam

I prepared these on Vinayaka Chavithi. Everyone enjoyed the tastiness of these mouth-watering vadas.  

Alright..here is the recipe:

Ingredients: 1 cup Sago (సగ్గుబియ్యం) 2 cups raw Peanuts (వేరుసెనగపప్పు) 2 Potatoes 1 tsp Cumin Seeds 2 tsp red Chili Powder (Optional) (Can be replaced with green chilies) Salt as needed Oil to deep fry Preparation: Wash sago well and soak for an hour or until it becomes soft. Powder the peanuts coarsely. Keep aside. Boil potatoes, peel and mash well.  Now mix sago + powdered peanuts + mashed potato together. Add cumin seeds +chili powder + salt, mix well to form thick dough.  Pour oil into a deep skillet and heat. When the oil becomes hot, take small batches of the dough, shape into a small circle and drop carefully into the oil. When they turn golden brown in color, remove from oil and spread on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat the same process with the remaining dough/batter.  Enjoy these great tasting vadas any time of the day. Yummy!
