| 6 medium | Potatoes |
| 3 tb | Yellow split peas |
| Salt | |
| 2 tb | Oil |
| 5 ea | Fenugreek seeds |
| 2 tb | Chopped onions |
| 3 tb | Parsley |
| 1 ea | Fresh hot green chili |
Potato Patties Instructions:
Two hours before using, boil the potatoes in their jackets.
While they are boiling, boil split peas in 3 cups water with a sprinkling of salt for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat & drain very well, ensuring that you get rid of all the excess water.
Set aside in a covered bowl.
In a skillet, add the oil & heat over a medium flame until it is very hot.
Add the fenugreek.
When they change colour, add onions & fry for 2 minutes, till the onion starts to brown.
Add parsley, green chili & stir another 2 minutes.
Next,
put in the split peas, a little more salt if desired & cook,
stirring for 5 minutes or until you are sure that all the water has
evaporated.
The mixture should become one lump.
Cover & set aside.
Peel
& mash the potatoes with a fork or hand masher, do not use an
electric beater otherwise your patties wil lnot hold together when
cooked.
A few lumps will remain, but get it as smooth as you can.
Add salt & mix thoroughly.
Divide the potatoes into 12 balls & do the same with the split pea mixture.
Flatten each potato ball in you hand, put one portion of the split pea mixture in the centre.
Roll up into a ball again & flatten once more into a patty.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
To
cook the patties, you need very little oil & some patience so as
not to lose the crust to the skillet when you turn them over.
Coat the bottom of the skillet with a small amount of oil.
Cook no more than two patties at any one time in each skillet.
Cook for 7 minutes, gently turn over & cook for another 7 to 8 minutes.
The patties should be reddish brown on each side.
Keep the heat fairly low otherwise they will burn.
Serve with chutney.
ENJOY.
