Notes
- Dont choose the nylon variety sago....the bigger variety suits well for this.
- Take care while adding water to soak sago...this is a very important step....if you add more water then it will become mushy.
- Do not fry for more time, then the vadas will turn bitter, make sure you take them when its golden brown.
- Pressure cook potatoes with skin for atleast 4-5 whistles or until soft...Peel of the skin and mash it up.
- If you are soaking in the mrg then you can check it now and then, fluff it up inbetween this gives nonsticky sago.Sago should be soaked well and should be soft.
- You can even add 2 teaspoon of rice flour while mixing.
