Cumin Potato Cake Recipe
Serves 2
Ingredients
2 large potatoes, peeled
4 sprigs spring onion, finely chopped
150g of tinned chickpeas, drained
1 tbsp of cumin seeds
1 tsp garam masala
½ bunch of coriander, chopped
1 tbsp of olive oil
1 pinch of salt
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Boil or steam the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until cooked. In a large bowl crush the potatoes to your preferred consistency.
Add the chickpeas, spring onion, cumin seeds, garam masala, chopped coriander and salt, gently mix together until well combined. Shape into small discs and refrigerate for half an hour.
Heat a non-stick pan and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the potato cakes and press down gently so they brown evenly; this is best done with a spatula. Flip the potato cakes over and do the same for the other side, until both sides are evenly browned.
Brush both sides of the potato cakes with olive oil and place in the oven for 5 minutes to finish cooking. Once cooked, leave to stand for another 5 minutes before serving with tomato salsa, spinach and rice crisps.
