- after one hour, make equal sized balls from the potato mixture and pat them to even even sized patties

- in a pan add oil, add the patties and cook in slow fire on one side

- then turn them to the other side and cook till they are golden brown

- serve them as a side dish.

This is a Srilankan Dish. My most favourite one. This is very easy to make. I have done shallow fry here, you can also deep fry these patties. The egg will make the mixture bind well.

Goes well with burgers as well.
