Time 45m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Shred the sweet potatoes, and place in a colander to drain for about 10 minutes. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, white sugar, brown sugar, curry powder and cumin. Make a well in the center, and pour in eggs and milk. Stir until all of the dry ingredients have been absorbed. Stir in sweet potatoes.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop the potato mixture by spoonfuls into the oil, and flatten with the back of the spoon. Fry until golden on both sides, flipping only once. If they are browning too fast, reduce the heat to medium. Remove from the oil, and keep warm while the other pancakes are frying.

Tips:

  • Grate the sweet potatoes finely. This will help them cook evenly and create a smooth batter.
  • Add some moisture to the batter. If the batter is too thick, add a little milk or water until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Curried sweet potato pancakes are best served hot, with your favorite toppings.
