Ingredients

  • 225 g (7.9oz) paneer coarsely grated
  • 160 g (5.6oz) potatoes (medium sized), boiled and roughly mashed
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 2 piece ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2 green chillies, finely chopped (seeds removed if you prefer)
  • 3 tbsp Patak's Korma Paste
  • 100 g (3.5oz) spinach, roughly chopped
  • 50 g (1.8oz) coriander leaves, chopped
  • 3 tbsp chickpea flour
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil, to fry the cakes
  • 1 cup mint yoghurt dip
  • 1 cup chilli chutney

Method

  • Heat the teaspoon of oil in a saucepan.
  • Add the ginger and chopped chillies, then fry for a minute on medium heat.
  • Stir through the Patak's Korma Paste and mix gently for a couple of minutes, being careful not to burn the spices (add a tablespoon of water if needed).
  • Tip in the chopped spinach and coriander and mix well.
  • Cook on a low flame for a minute or so until the spinach starts to wilt.
  • Take the pan off the heat and set aside for the mix to cool completely.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the grated paneer, cooled mashed potato and the spinach mix.
  • Bring it all together using your hands.
  • Add the chick pea flour and mix again.
  • Shape into bite-sized cakes and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the cakes a few at a time on medium heat, for a minute on each side.
  • They should be crisp and golden brown.
  • Drain on kitchen paper and serve with mint yoghurt dip or some chilli chutney.
