Instructions
Cook potatoes in a saucepan of simmering water for 13-15 minutes until tender. Remove from the heat and drain well. Return the potatoes to the saucepan and place over a low heat for 1-2 minutes to dry. Push the potatoes through a sieve or mash until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the oil, yoghurt and chutney. Season to taste.
Heat 1 tbsp of oil a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Roll a ⅓ cup of the mixture into a ball then place in a frying pan and flatten into a round with the back of a spatula. Cook as many as will fit in the pan for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining oil and potato mixture.
Serve immediately with yoghurt and chutney to the side.
