Ingredients

  • 3 sweet potatoes medium
  • 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Mixed herbs
  • 1 teaspoon Roasted cumin powder
  • 2 to 3 tablespoon Roasted peanuts roughly crushed
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper powder
  • ½ cup Gram flour/besan/chickpea flour roasted
  • 1 cup Bread crumbs
  • 3 tablespoon Corn flour
  • Water as required for making slurry
  • Salt to taste
  • Coriander leaves
  • 2 to 3 tablespoon oil for shallow frying

Instructions

Boiling the potatoes in Instant pot Method:

  • Place the potatoes on a trivet, add 2 cups of water to the pot and pressure cook for 5-6 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally. Remove the skin and use it.
  • Into a bowl, add the cooled potatoes and mash them using a masher.
  • Now add chopped garlic, mixed herbs, cumin powder, black pepper powder and required salt. Mix well.
  • Add gram flour/besan in small batches and mix thoroughly without any lumps. Then add roughly crushed roasted peanuts and mix well.
  • Now add half of the bread crumbs and mix well.
  • Cover and keep the mixture in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.

To Make Slurry

  • Add corn flour into a small mixing bowl and add required water to make smooth slurry.
  • After 15 minutes remove the mixture from the fridge. Line a tray with baking paper and keep aside.

Making the patties

  • Grease your palms with oil and divide the mixture into equal parts and make big or small as per your taste. Shape them by flattening in between your palms.
  • Dip the shaped disc into the cornflour slurry and then roll it in the remaining bread crumbs. Keep aside on a plate.
  • Repeat the same process with the remaining mixture.
  • Heat a pan with 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil for shallow frying. Before adding the patties to the pan make sure the oil is hot enough.
  • Carefully add the patties to the pan and fry them on medium flame until they turn golden colour on both sides.
  • Remove them onto kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.
  • Serve with green chutney or tomato ketchup
