Herbed Potato Patties
curries, snacks, vegetables
3 large potatoes
1 tablespoon ghee
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon minced chilies
2 tablespoon fresh coriander
3 tablespoon chick pea flour
1 ghee for frying
Boil the potatoes in their jackets until just fork tender. Peel them & mash them until they are very smooth.
Add the remaining ingredients except the ghee. Knead until well blended. Divide into 8 portions. Wash & dry your hands & then rub them a little vegetable oil. Roll each ball in your hands & then flatten into a small round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Brush a griddle or skilet with ghee. Place over the lowest heat possible &, when the pan is hot, add the patties in a single layer. Pan fry for 15 to 20 minutes per side until a redish brown crust is formed. Serve hot.
