Spinach Chilly Patties - Sunayana Gupta

Recipe:

Spinach - 250gms
Potatoes (Boiled n Peeled) – 250 gms.
Green Chilly (Chopped) – 2 tsp
Cumin Seeds – 1 tsp
Coriander Seeds – 2 tsp
Black Pepper – 3-4
Dry Mango Powder – 1 tsp
Sesame Seeds – 2 tsp
Corn Flour – 4-5 tsp or as required
Salt – To taste
Oil – To shallow fry

Method –
1.Dry roast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds & black peppercorns in a pan. Grind to form a fine or slightly coarse powder (I prefer it slightly ‘Coarse’).
2.Wash spinach properly under running water and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Chop finely n keep aside.
3.In a plate mix sesame seeds with corn flour and keep aside.
4.In a large bowl mash the boiled potatoes, add in the spinach, chopped chilly, masala pd. (Step 1), dry mango pd., salt and mix properly to form a dough.
5.Divide this dough into lemon size balls.
6.Greese your palms with oil. Take one ball and slightly flatten onto your palms to give it a ‘Patty’ kind of shape.
7.Dust this patty in corn flour mixture & keep aside.
8.Repeat this process with the rest of the dough.
9.Heat a non stick pan and apply some oil. Line up the patties.
10.When they get a nice golden color at the bottom, then brush oil on the upper portion and flip.
11.Fry till golden and crisp. Transfer onto a plate with some napkins to absorb the excess oil, if any.
Chilly Spinach Patties’ are ready. Serve with your favorite sauce.

Sunayana’s Tip –

After washing ‘Spinach’ ….pat dry properly with a kitchen towel, otherwise your patty dough would be soggy and you might face problem in binding the patties.
