Directions

Mash the sweet potatoes in a bowl and then add the chickpea flour, garam masala, ginger, salt, cilantro, and yogurt. Mix well and then form into small patties about 2-inches in diameter.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties in batches so they have plenty of room to fry. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crispy and cooked through.

Yield: 14 cakes

    These were tasty and easy to cook. I used a non-stick pan and used a small ice cream scoop to make them all the same size. I would do these again. I think that it would be better to serve them on a cocktail plate because they were a little too soft to use as finger food.

    Used more chickpea flour to coat the patties as they were really sticky. But they fried up beautifully. And the chutney was amazing. Yum-o!!!
