Indian Yam Fritters Classic Crunch Patties


There are these awesomely delicious things at the jackson diner lunch buffet...i have no idea what they're called but they're delicious and i just refer to them as crunch patties. So i tried to make a clone of the recipe. These didn't *quite* turn out the same, but they still turned out good! Yields about 30 teeny fritters.

Steps


Wash and peel the yams.
Boil until tender , about 20 minutes.
Drain the yams thoroughly and puree in the food processor with the flour.
A thick and sticky mixture should result.
Add the seasonings and pulse again.
Form little discs with your hands about the size of half-dollars.
Shallow pan fry in olive oil , blot on paper towels.
Serve with tamarind date sauce or a good chutney.

Ingredients


yams, besan, garam masala, curry powder, sea salt, olive oil
