For vada:
In a bowl, combine soaked tapioca, mashed potatoes, chopped ginger, green chili, curry leaves, crushed peanuts, cumin seeds, salt to taste, yogurt, fresh coriander, and baking soda. Mix everything well and knead into a dough.
Heat oil in a deep pan for frying and keep another bowl of water nearby. Take small portions of the dough and shape them into small, round discs, making a hole in the center.
Fry these discs in medium-hot oil until they turn golden brown on both sides.
Remove excess oil by placing the fried vadas on absorbent paper.
Serve hot with sweet yogurt.
