Ingredients:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (1.5 cups, mashed)
- 1 red onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp medium curry powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Pinch of hot chilli powder
- 1 flax egg*
- 1 tin chickpeas (240g drained)
- 1 cup / 30g fresh coriander
- 3.5 tbsp chickpea/gram flour
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- Pierce the sweet potatoes and then place on a microwavable plate in the microwave on high for 10 minutes.
- Finely dice the onion and fry in a large frying pan on medium heat. After a few minutes add crushed garlic and cook for a couple more minutes.
- Add the curry powder, garam masala, salt and chilli and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Drain the chickpeas and mash with the back of a fork in a bowl until roughly mashed, you can leave some whole for texture.
- Check the sweet potatoes are soft all the way through, if not cook for a few more minutes.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the microwave and carefully slice open length ways. Scoop out the flesh, place in a bowl and mash until soft.
- Add the mashed chickpeas, onion and spices, flax eggs, chopped coriander, chickpea flour and nutritional yeast. Mix well.
- Wipe the frying pan clean and heat some oil. Take a tbsp of the patty mixture, roll into a bowl and press down gently to form a patty shape.
- Fry for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. I was able to fry 4-5 at a time.
- Keep cooked patties in the oven on a low heat to keep warm.
- Serve with mango chutney, yoghurt raita or your favourite curry!
