Curried Sweet Potato and Chickpea Patties

Step 1

Pierce the sweet potatoes and then place on a microwavable plate in the microwave on high for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Finely dice the onion and fry in a large frying pan on medium heat. After a few minutes add crushed garlic and cook for a couple more minutes.

Step 3

Add the curry powder, garam masala, salt and chilli and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Drain the chickpeas and mash with the back of a fork in a bowl until roughly mashed, you can leave some whole for texture.

Step 5

Check the sweet potatoes are soft all the way through, if not cook for a few more minutes.

Step 6

Remove the sweet potatoes from the microwave and carefully slice open length ways. Scoop out the flesh, place in a bowl and mash until soft.

Step 7

Add the mashed chickpeas, onion and spices, flax eggs, chopped coriander, chickpea flour and nutritional yeast. Mix well.

Step 8

Wipe the frying pan clean and heat some oil. Take a tbsp of the patty mixture, roll into a bowl and press down gently to form a patty shape.

Step 9

Fry for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. I was able to fry 4-5 at a time.

Step 10

Keep cooked patties in the oven on a low heat to keep warm.

Step 11

Serve with mango chutney, yoghurt raita or your favourite curry!
