Sweet Potato Vegetable Patties

A different take on our regular vegetable and potato cutlets only made healthier. I have omitted the bread crumbs here and baked the patties trying to make it more wholesome and loaded with vegetables and still on the lower calorie side. For a different taste, try serving with a spicy raita rather than a dipping sauce or ketchup.  This is a very good combination since the spicy raita balances the sweetness of the patties and takes the flavor combination to a whole new level.  Try baking the potatoes instead of boiling them for the patties for a richer, intense taste of the potatoes.

Ingredients:

1. Sweet potatoes, medium-size ones, 2.
2. Mixed vegetables like green beans, carrots, bell peppers, peas etc. ; all cut into very small pieces; 1 cup.
3. Chili powder, 1 teaspoon.
4. Ginger-garlic paste, ¼ teaspoon.
5. Garam masala, ½ teaspoon.
6. Fennel seeds, ¼ teaspoon.
7. Salt, ¼ teaspoon.
8. Chopped coriander, 1 tablespoon.

Preparation:

Wrap the potatoes with aluminum foil and bake them for 30 minutes in a 375 degree oven. Peel the potatoes and mash them once they are cool. Take the potatoes in a big bowl and add in the rest of the ingredients. Mix everything together and make small patties out the mixture.  Shallow fry the patties on low-to-medium flame for 3-4 minutes on each side until it gets brown and crispy.
