Recipe type: vegetarian, appetizer
Cuisine: indian
Ingredients
  • 1.5 kgs yukon/yellow flesh potatoes (about 8-10 medium sized)
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 stalk spring onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1½ to 2 tsp salt
  • ¾ - 1 tsp mustard powder (sometimes I have subbed with 1 tsp of dijon mustard instead)
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup corn
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (you could also use pepper jack)
  • 4-6 minced green chillies (you can add more as per your liking_
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander/cilantro, finely chopped
  • 3 - 3½ cups panko bread crumbs, (you can use regular but panko is preferable)
Instructions
  1. Boil the potatoes till tender. Peel and mash them a little in a large enough bowl. Add in the butter and milk.
  2. Add the mustard powder, salt and black pepper and mash it all together.
  3. Taste for seasoning. You want the mixture to taste a little salty, not over, but just a tad more than what you generally would prefer.
  4. Mash the potatoes till the mixture is smooth and not lumpy. Add the corn, grated cheese, chopped chillies, garlic, finely chopped spring onions, and coriander. Mix well. If you feel the mixture is too loose, then you can add a few bread crumbs to stiffen it.
  5. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  6. On another shallow tray, add the bread crumbs. In another bowl add some milk. You can also use an egg, but since I like to make it vegetarian, I avoid the egg and use milk instead.
  7. Working with a golf sized ball, dip the potato mixture in the milk and then roll it in the breadcrumbs. Flatten a bit to make a round and line it on the tray. Refrigerate for an hour, or at this point you can flash freeze on the tray and then transfer to a ziploc bag or freezer container.
  8. When you are ready to eat them pan fry on medium high heat with a little oil for 2-3 minutes on each side or till golden brown.
