Mix all the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until a cohesive, firm dough forms. Ensure everything is well combined.

Take a small portion of the dough (about 1 tablespoon) and gently roll it between your palms, then shape it into a fry-like, finger-shaped piece, approximately 2-3 inches long. Repeat this process with the remaining dough until all the fries are formed.

Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium-high heat for deep frying. The oil should be hot enough (around 350-375°F / 175-190°C) to ensure the fries cook quickly and become crispy without absorbing too much oil. You can test the oil by dropping a tiny piece of dough; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.

Carefully place a batch of sabudana fries into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they turn golden brown and become crispy on all sides.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried sabudana fries from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batches of fries.
