During fasting days we often make cutlets and pooris from potato,rajgiri and sabudana,which taste very delicious but are high in calories.So today I tried these potato and sabudana muthiyas,which taste almost like vadas ,but consume very less oil as compared to sabudana vadas and poories.
Ingredients1 cup Tapioca Pearls / Sago / Sabudana soaked
2 Potatoes / Aloo boiled
3/4 cup Amaranth Flour / Rajgiri Atta
2 tbsp Peanut crushed
2 Green chili/hari mirch chopped
1 Ginger / Adrak grated
1/2 tsp Lemon Juice / Nimbu Ka Ras
2 tbsp Yogurt / Dahi
2 tbsp Fresh Coriander / Cilantro / Hara Dhaniya
Salt / Namak to taste
1/2 tsp Pepper Powder / Kali Mirch
2-3 tbsp Cooking Oil
1 tsp Cumin Seeds / Sabut Jeera
1.5 tsp sesame seeds /til
1/4 tsp Asafoetida / Hing powder
2 Green chilies
Method* In a bowl add all the ingredients and mix well.
* Grease your palms and make small and long roll from the mixture.
* Grease the steamer plate and put all the rolls on it.
* Boil enough water in a steamer and put the steamer plate in it(above the water level,can also use the rice cooker ).
* Steam the rolls for 20 minutes on high heat.
* Take out the plate from the steamer and let them cool down completely.
* These rolls are soft in texture so gently slice the rolls with a greased and sharp knife.
* Heat oil in a nonstick or heavy pan and add cumin,sesame seeds and asafoetida.
* Now add sliced green chilies and sliced muthiya and stir fry on medium heat for around 5-7 minutes.
* Keep turning the sides in between till they become golden in colour.
