Method to Prepare Potato Vada 🍽️
1. **Grate the Potatoes**: Peel and grate the potatoes finely using a medium grain grater. Soak the grated potatoes in water to remove excess starch.

3. **Mix the Masala**: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with fennel seeds, cashew nuts, raisins, chopped coriander, ground sugar, and garam masala. Mix well.
4. **Add Binding Agents**: Incorporate rice flour and cornflour into the mixture to ensure proper binding.
5. **Shape the Vadas**: Form lemon-sized balls from the mixture.
6. **Fry the Vadas**: Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, carefully add the vadas and fry until golden brown, ensuring they are cooked through.
