Indian Potato Cakes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds (optional)
  • 3 large shallots, sliced thin
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 3 cups spinach
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon garlic-ginger paste
  • 2 1/2 cups mashed potatoes (68 potatoes)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • Flour for dusting the cakes

Instructions

In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Add the cumin and mustard seeds, and cook for one minute. Add the shallots and sauté while stirring for 2 minutes. Add the turmeric and cook covered, stirring often, about 4-5 minutes, until the shallots are golden and caramelized.

Add the spinach and the cilantro and cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the water, the garlic-ginger paste, and the sea salt. Stir until well-combined. Add the potatoes, the peas, and the garam masala. Mix well until well-combined. Taste and adjust seasonings.

In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Roll out cakes using your hands and dredge in flour. Cook the cakes until a nice golden crust is formed on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. This should give you about 6 cakes. Bon appétit!
