Navratri Recipe- Mouthwatering Vrat Ki Muthiya

During navratri and other 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.

Ingredients

1 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

Tempering

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.

- 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.
