Javvarisi (sabudana) Vadai (ஜவ்வரிசி வடை)

Vadai is a crispy fried item which tastes best when served hot. Javvarisi are small opaque white pearls which become bigger in size, spongier and translucent when soaked in water. This vadai looks pretty from these white pearls and are very tempting. Make sure to wash the soaked javvarisi well to remove the excess starch. Also make sure to cut the coriander leaves and curry leaves to small pieces, so that one vadai does not get a big piece.
