Notes
- Wash and soak the sago pearls in just about enough water. About four to six hours is good. On pressing the sago pearls between your fingers they should mash well.
- Drain the water well and remove any excess water so the patties can be shaped easily.
- Use de-skinned groundnuts if possible to roast and powder as it can save some time.
- Boil and mash potatoes ahead of time so they are completely cooled.
- Refrigerate the patties for a while if possible so they hold shape well.
- Remember not to pre-heat the basket with the liner alone to prevent it from burning as it can fly up to the heating coil on the top and burn during pre-heating. This happens if nothing is kept on the liner to weigh it down. You can also use the liner after pre-heating so the weight of the vadas will hold the liner down.
- Use the Turn option so you can flip the vadas and ensure they are getting cooked as desired.
