Samosa-style Chickpea Potato Cakes

Samosa-style Chickpea Potato Cakes

    Lynne Faubert's Notes: A variation on Canadian Food Network star Ricardo's recipe, I tried it recently and was asked to post it here. It's good as is (although bigger cakes tend to break) but I already plan on tweaking...

Serves 6 large cakes

  1. Note: You could probably use a curry powder store-bought or homemade instead of spices listed here. You can also add 1 tsp black mustard seeds (temper them in olive oil with the other spices until they burst).

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  2. Heat oil. Gently cook ginger, garlic and spices to infuse oil. Do not roast. Pour in potatoes, chickpeas, lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste. Mash with potato masher, let cool in fridge 30 minutes. (I might try making patties here and then freeze them 30 min prevent them from breaking as you fry.)

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  3. Make into large cakes (makes 6), smaller ones (easier to cook) or even "meatballs". Dredge in breading. Fry in oil until nicely crisp on outside. (Avoid turning or moving around until you have a nice brown crust, turn with a spatula, they tend to break...)

    Ask the hotline about this step!
  4. Serve with green onion-coriander savoury whipped cream (a variation of Amanda's herb cream) or even yoghurt, preferably Greek-style drained 30 minutes.
