Kaju Potatoes

KAJU POTATOES

Ingredients:

potatoes - 3 (cooked, peeled and mashed)

cashew nuts - 5 - 7 (soaked in water)

salt to taste

pepper powder - 1 tsp

egg - 1

corriander leaves - 2 tbsp (finely chopped)

oil - to fry

Method:

- mix potatoes, egg, salt, corriander leaves, pepper powder 

- coarsely grind cashew nuts in a mixer grinder and add that to the potato mixture

- mix well and allow that to rest in the fridge for 1 hr

- 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.
