Sweet Potato and Kale Patties

This recipe uses sweet potatoes instead of potatoes because the former is less starchy and far more nutritious. The hot and sour chickpea sauce is just perfect with the sweet potatoes and the slightly bitter kale. This is a terrifically healthy recipe with tons of protein, fiber, Vitamins A and C, and a lot more per serving.

SWEET POTATO AND KALE PATTIES [VEGAN]

INGREDIENTS

• 2 large sweet potatoes, roasted and mashed
• 2 cups kale
• 1/2 cup coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne
• Salt, to taste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

PREPARATION

1. Chop the kale and coriander in a food processor along with some salt. Let it stand about 15 minutes, then squeeze out any excess water.
2. Mix the kale and coriander with the mashed sweet potatoes, ginger, garam masala, salt as needed, and cayenne. Add the chickpea flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the sweet potato mixture is firm enough to form patties. It will still be pretty soft, but it’s ready when a ball formed by rolling the mixture between your palms remains firm.
3. Heat the oil in a non-stick or cast-iron skillet.
4. To form the patties, divide the mixture into 12 portions. Wet the palms of your hands with some water and shape each portion into a flat, round patty about 2 inches across.
5. Drop each patty, right after you shape it, into the skillet. Cook each side until golden-brown, on medium heat. Do not crowd the pan. You might have to do this in batches.
6. Remove the patties to a plate.
