  2. Crush roasted peanuts into a coarse powder.
  3. Mix the coarsely crushed peanut powder with the soaked sabudana so that it absorbs the water and becomes dry.
  4. The proportion of potatoes should be half that of soaked sabudana.
  5. Fry the sabudana vada on medium-high heat. Do not fry it on a low flame.
