Notes
Boil the potato along with the skin. Once cooled completely, peel off the skin and mash it with your hands. Don't grate the potatoes. This way, the moisture content will be less.
Can adjust sugar and raisins as per taste
The quantity of arrowroot powder required depends on the moisture content in the potato.
Fry the vadas on a medium flame and a few at once.
