Discard the water and soak the sabudana<\/em> in ¾ cup clean water for at least 3-4 hours.<\/li>\n
It should flatten easily with the pressure.
Drain the sabudana<\/em> using a sieve.
Keep aside for at least 30 minutes.
Transfer onto a flat plate and spread it out to get rid of extra moisture.<\/li>\n
Keep aside.<\/li>\n
Discard the skin and coarsely grind the peanuts in a blender.<\/li>\n
Add the fresh coriander and the lemon juice.
Mix everything together without over working the mixture, else the potato and sabudana<\/em> will release starch and make the mixture sticky.
Ensure that the mixture is neither dry nor sticky.
If the mixture is dry, if it is not binding well, you probably need to add some more mashed potatoes.
If it is sticky, add some roasted besan<\/em>.
Moisten your hands and roll the mixture into small 1½-inch balls.
Insert the skewer right into the centre of the ball and then using your fingers, spread the mixture over the skewer (length-wise) to create a cylindrical shape.
Repeat process with all the skewers.
Set the kebab skewers aside on a greased plate.<\/li>\n
Add 2 tbsp of oil and place the skewered sabudana<\/em> kebabs in the pan to cook.
Cook the kebabs in batches.
Flip the skewers so they cook evenly.
Fry the kebabs till golden brown.
Add more oil if required.
Once done, take out of the frying pan and transfer onto a plate.
Sprinkle with chaat<\/em> masala and serve with green chutney or a mango dip and slices of cucumber on the side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
