Ingredients
Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients.
Place the potatoes into a pot of cold water, add a generous pinch of salt, bring to a boil and cook for 15-16 minutes, until tender. Then drain well and mash, using either an electric whisk or potato masher.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, ginger, garlic, and chilli with a sprinkle of salt and cook for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
Sprinkle over the turmeric and garam masala and stir to incorporate. Cook for a further minute, just until fragrant.
Add to the mashed potatoes and stir to combine. Taste a small amount and adjust seasoning to your liking.
Shape the mixture into balls about the size of an easy peeler, then flatten slightly. You want the patties to be about an inch thick. At this point you can either cook them right away, or place the uncooked potato cakes in the fridge for up to 3 days.
When you are ready to cook, heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the potato cakes and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.

Delicious. Made sure to flatten the patties before cooking and then cooked in pan with olive oil on medium, avoiding pressing down and flipping once. Held together and got a nice golden brown crust. Served with grilled veg and egg for protein and yoghurt mint dip to eat with patties for those who can't take spicy.
Wow! Just absolutely divine and DELICIOUS! Make sure to use non stick pan to fry though!
Great taste just a bit hard to pan cook keeping the patties together and how to make them crispy
Good takes, but I think it needs an extra element to make it stick together better. Maybe egg or a bit of oil or butter
At last step i could not have a nice fried cakes. I tried to fry it on a pan with very little olive oil and maybe the pan wasn't heat enough to start frying so it could be my mistake completely. However, the taste was really good i'd cook it again.
