Double Potato Mint & Cumin Tiki's
These gorgeous little flat tiki's or cutlets make out of mashed sweet potato and Maris Piper potato are quick, easy and can even be made up with left over mash - Add an exquisite Asian combination of mint and cumin bring freshness and a Pakistani touch to these cutlet style punchy little delights. We always have them with a spicy green coriander and coconut chutney (coming soon)....These are great to make with little ones - they love shaping the mash into wonky cutlets, but they taste as good, if not better! They're also a healthy snack for kids! Great sandwich filling with some salad and spicy tomato ketchup!Ingredients:2 large Maris Piper potatoes, peeled, boiled and mashed2-3 large Orange flesh sweet potatoes, peeled, boiled and mashed1 tbsp whole cumin, dry roasted in a pan then crushed in mortar and pestle1/2 cup of chopped mint leaves3/4 cup chopped coriander leaves1/4 - 1/2 tsp red chili powder (optional)Juice of half a lemonSalt to taste1 egg, beaten to coat cutlets / tiki's2 tbsp plain flour to dust the cutletsVegetable oil to fry, I like cold pressed Rapeseed oilMakes about 6 - 8 cutlets / tikis and takes about 30 minutes to prepareMethod:1.
