Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Green onions, finely sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, flour, eggs, minced garlic, curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, green onions, and cilantro (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Use enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Place the patties into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining fritter mixture, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
Serve the curried sweet potato fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of yogurt.
