POTATO AND PEA PATTIES WITH INDIAN SPICES

Steps:

• Peel cooled baked sweet potatoes and place in a large bowl.
• Place quartered red potatoes in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water and steam for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat and add to bowl with sweet potatoes. Mash potatoes together. The red skins will fall apart. Stir in cilantro.
• Combine 2 tablespoons of the oil with ground red chiles or red pepper flakes, coriander seeds and cumin seeds in a large, heavy skillet and heat over medium-high heat until cumin is fragrant and golden-brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cayenne and then scrape in potato mixture and salt to taste. Stir in peas and cook just until potatoes and peas are warmed through, about 2 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the skillet often to work in any browned bits. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Stir in lemon juice, taste and adjust salt, and set aside to cool completely.
• Take up about 1/3 cup of the mixture and form into a ball (you can wet your hands to reduce sticking). Roll ball in the panko or chickpea flour, then gently flatten into a patty. Set on a plate and continue with the rest of the mixture. Refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour or longer (the longer the better).
• When you're ready to cook, place a rack over a sheet pan. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a 12-inch, heavy nonstick frying pan over high heat. Swirl pan to coat with the hot oil. Lower heat to medium. Place 4 to 5 patties in the pan (do not crowd), and cook until well browned on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn and brown for about 4 more minutes. Remove to rack. Heat remaining oil in the pan and cook remaining patties. Keep patties warm in a low oven until ready to serve. Serve with a salad and your choice of toppings, such as the usual (ketchup, mustard, relish), or yogurt raita, garlic yogurt, or chutney.

INDIAN POTATOES, TOMATOES AND PEAS

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes and place in pot with water to cover. Cover and boil about 17 minutes or until potatoes are tender. (If tiny new potatoes are not available, buy large potatoes with thin skins. Do not peel. Cube them and cook.)
• Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet. Add the onions, jalapeno peppers, turmeric, cumin, ginger and coriander. Saute until onions begin to brown.
• Add the tomatoes and peas and cook until peas are heated through and tomatoes have given up their juices.
• When the tiny new potatoes are cooked, drain and cut them in half or quarters and add to vegetables. Season with salt, if desired, and pepper. Stir to coat and serve with yogurt on the side.

POTATOES WITH INDIAN SPICES

Steps:

• Slice the potatoes into half-inch rounds, then dice these further into small, evenly-sized cubes.
• Using a wok or other non-stick pan, take the minimum amount of oil needed and fry these cubed potatoes over a high heat to start with and then turn the heat down and cover. When the potatoes are a little more than half done, add the turmeric, chili powder and some salt, closely followed by the remaining spices. Stir to combine and put the lid back on once again.
• When the potatoes are nearly ready (and you will have to be vigilant to ensure they don't get too soft), take the lid off, turn the heat up and stir-fry to enable any excess liquid to evaporate. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve.
