Phalahari Muthiya

Steamed sago and potato dumplings

During  janmashtami and other fasting days we often make cutlets and pooris from potato,rajgiri and sabudana,which taste very delicious but are high in calories.So today I tried these potato and sabudana muthiyas,which taste almost like vadas ,but consume very less oil as compared to sabudana vadas and poories.
