Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1kg orange sweet potatoes
  • 60g baby spinach
  • 5cm piece fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh coriander leaves
  • 1/2 cup plain floor
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek-style yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes

Kachumber

  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 green capsicum, chopped
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves

Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced.
    2. Using a small knife, prick potatoes all over. Place on a baking tray. Bake for 1 hour or until tender. Cool for 20 minutes. Discard skin from potatoes. Transfer to a large bowl. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Add ginger, coriander, chilli, cumin, flour and curry powder to mash. Mix to combine.
    3. Place the breadcrumbs on a plate. Using 1/4 cup mixture at a time, spoon potato mixture onto breadcrumbs (see note). Shape into patties. Repeat to make 12 patties. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, if time permits.
    4. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until golden and heated through.
    5. Meanwhile, make kachumber. Combine tomato, cucumber, capsicum, onion and juice in a bowl. Season. Add mint. Toss to combine. Serve patties with kachumber, spinach and yoghurt.

Notes

Potato mixture will still be a little soft. The breadcrumbs will help prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands and firm the patties a little.
