Meanwhile, boil potatoes. Peel and mash them, keep it aside.
Dry roast peanut and coarsely ground them.
As sabudana is ready, combine all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Adjust salt as per taste. You do not need water to combine, sabudana and mashed potato have enough moisture to make a soft dough.
Divide this mixture into equal parts, I could make 16 tikkis with this mixture.
Shallow fry the tikkis in little ghee or clarified butter. You can use oil too.
Fry both the sides. Serve with vrat ki chutney.
Take all ingredients for chutney in a grinding jar and grind till you get a smooth consistency. Adjust salt and lemon juice as per taste. Vrat ki green chutney is ready.
