Method

  1. 1 Rinse the sago pearls and soak them in just enough water to cover them for 6 hours.
  2. 2 The water level should only be just enough to cover the ingredients; soaking them in too much water will make the grains mushy and the cakes will fall apart in the oil.
  3. 3 Test by pressing a bead; the bead should flatten without a hard, white center remaining.
  4. 4 Roast peanuts, then coarsely grind them and mix them with sago, mashed boiled potatoes, green chilies, and cumin.
  5. 5 Shape the dough into flat discs with wet hands, then refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up the cookies.
  6. 6 Deep-fry at 175 degrees for 3 minutes on each side until crispy, and squeeze lemon juice over the top when serving.
