Ingredients
- 1 big sweet potatoes , grated
- 1/2 cup sabudana
- 1/2 cup millet flour , I used barnyard millet flour, but you can use jowar, bajra or ragi too
- 2 tbsp yogurt
- 1/4 cup peanuts , coarsely crushed
- 2 tbsp cilantro , finely chopped
- 2 tsp oil
- 2 green chilies , finely minced
- 1 inch ginger , grated
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp roasted cumin powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp water , if needed
Instructions
-
Rinse sabudana pearls in cold water, 3-4 times till the water is clear and all starch is rinsed off. Soak them in a wide bowl for 3 to 4 hours, with enough water to just cover them. They will absorb water and double in size. Press them and check that they are not hard from inside. The water should be full absorbed by this time. In case, your sabudana is done, but they are still wet then spread them on a kitchen towel until they are totally dry.
-
In a bowl, add in all the ingredients except the water. Use your hands to gently mix this together and you should see the water from the sweet potatoes start to release. Add more water if needed 1 tbsp at a time to form a batter.
-
Heat oil in a pan on medium heat and add in a big spoonful of your batter. Use the back of a spatula to form a hole in the middle so it cooks evenly. Drizzle a little oil on top, cover, and let crisp up on one side for 3-4 minutes. Flip this over and add another drizzle of oil. Let cook for another 2-3 minutes and these are ready! Enjoy!

Pair it with chutneys and any raita of your choice to make it a meal. I love them with a simple yet flavorful pumpkin raita!
