3) Mix everything thoroughly until combined.
How to Make Sabudana Chutney Bombs:

2) Add a small scoop of the chutney to the middle of the patty, being careful not to add too much!
PRO TIP: You can also spread the chutney out in a bag and freeze it to make it easier when filling the Sabudana bombs!
3) Close and seal the patty around the chutney to form a round ball shape.
4) Repeat the previous steps until you have used all of the Sabudana Tikki Mixture, and set these aside for frying.
