Curried Sweet Potato Fritters Pancakes Recipes

SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat about 3 inches of oil in a deep heavy pot, fitted with a deep-frying thermometer, to 365 degrees F.
• In a large bowl combine the potato, ricotta, sugar, salt and pepper, to taste, with a hand mixer until smooth. Fold in the flour, a little at a time, until just combined.
• Working in batches to avoid crowing the pot, drop heaping teaspoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning as needed to brown evenly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar and a pinch of salt. Arrange them on a serving dish and enjoy!
• Cook's Note: Be sure to let the oil return to 365 degrees F between batches.

CURRIED SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, cornmeal, curry powder, and ginger in large bowl. Stir in sweet potato, onion, peas, and poppy seeds, if using. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
• Heat large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Scoop sweet potato mixture onto hot skillet in 1/4-cup dollops, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip, and cook 4 to 5 minutes more, or until golden brown on second side.
• Transfer to plate, and keep warm. Repeat with remaining sweet potato mixture until you have 12 Fritters.

CURRIED SWEET POTATO + CARROT FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato, carrots, flour, egg(s), curry powder, salt and pepper. Stir the mixture together with a spatula or wooden spoon until combined.
• Add 2 - 3 tablespoons of coconut oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, form small patties out of the sweet potato mixture in your hands.
• Cook the fritters until golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes, then flip cook an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the fritters to a cooling rack. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.
• Serve slightly warm as is (or with a quick mixture of non-dairy yogurt, ginger and parsley or simply sliced green onions).

CURRIED SWEET POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, fennel seeds, and ginger in a small bowl. Stir well to blend.
• In a large sauté pan set over medium heat, heat the 1/4 cup oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized to a golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the spice mixture. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to toast the spices. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the yams, flour, egg, and salt, and mix well to combine. Form the mixture into cakes that are about 3 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick, and put them on a baking sheet.
• Set a skillet over medium-low heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Working in batches, sauté the cakes for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. They are done when they are a crispy golden brown and the sweet potato is cooked through.
• Serve warm, topped with the yogurt and scallions.

CURRIED SWEET POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• 1. Grate the sweet potatoes coarsely. In a separate bowl mix the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cayenne pepper, curry powder, cumin, and salt and pepper.
• 2. Add the eggs and just enough milk to the dry ingredients to make a stiff batter. Add the potatoes and mix. The batter should be moist but not runny; if too stiff, add more milk.
• 3. Heat 1/4 inch of peanut oil in a frying pan until it is barely smoking. Drop in the batter by tablespoons and flatten. Fry over medium-high heat several minutes on each side until golden. Drain on paper towels and serve.

CURRIED SWEET POTATO AND CHICKPEA PATTIES

Steps:

• Pierce the sweet potatoes and then place on a microwavable plate in the microwave on high for 10 minutes.
• Finely dice the onion and fry in a large frying pan on medium heat. After a few minutes add crushed garlic and cook for a couple more minutes.
• Add the curry powder, garam masala, salt and chilli and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Drain the chickpeas and mash with the back of a fork in a bowl until roughly mashed, you can leave some whole for texture.
• Check the sweet potatoes are soft all the way through, if not cook for a few more minutes.
• Remove the sweet potatoes from the microwave and carefully slice open length ways. Scoop out the flesh, place in a bowl and mash until soft.
• Add the mashed chickpeas, onion and spices, flax eggs, chopped coriander, chickpea flour and nutritional yeast. Mix well.
• Wipe the frying pan clean and heat some oil. Take a tbsp of the patty mixture, roll into a bowl and press down gently to form a patty shape.
• Fry for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. I was able to fry 4-5 at a time.
• Keep cooked patties in the oven on a low heat to keep warm.
• Serve with mango chutney, yoghurt raita or your favourite curry!
