The Sweet Potatoes Patties tasted yum and I fried them in 2 different ways with the same batter. Sweet Potatoes Patties turned out delicious, crispy from out, soft within and got over so soon. Sweet Potatoes were lying in my fridge for a long time. Sweet Potatoes are known as ratalu Or ratali in India. Apart from boiling Sweet Potatoes I didn’t know what to do with the Sweet Potatoes so I thought of making Sweet Potatoes Patties with them.
I am thankful to everyone for their support and love. Special thankyou for people who voted me for the recipe contest held at Food Frenzy for month of Jan 2011. It gives a great feeling and motivation to work more 🙂
I had made sprouted mung bean with rice. So just for adding a bit of flavor and starters I made the Sweet Potatoes Patties. My hubby loved them he only ate most of it 🙂 …… I am sure you guys would agree when you make some dish and your family eats them and it gets over. We all like that right?
This week I am all excited although I am suffering from cold I am game for more recipes. May be desserts, may be chaats lets see how this week goes by! Sometimes we plan so many things but unplanned things comes on our way guess that’s existence plan for us 😉
To think negative is so easy but to be positive always one has to make a conscious effort all the time 🙂 Lets quickly move towards this recipe!
Let’s make Ratalu Patties Recipe step by step:
1. Boil the sweet potatoes upto 4 whistles Or until tender. Allow to cool down peel off the skin. Keep them aside. Combine sweet potatoes and all spices except oil. Mix them with your hand also mash the sweet potatoes.
2. If the mixture is yet sticky add little rice flour. Now spread some flour on your hand and shape them into round balls. Slightly flatten the balls with your palms. You could give any shape Or size you desire.
3. Take rice flour on a plate. Roll these balls on both sides with rice flour. I also rolled the mixture into kebab shape. Later rolled them on semolina. You can do both ways if you wish. Take a non stick pan for shallow fry. Add little oil spread all over. Once oil is hot place these balls on them. Fry them until golden brown from both sides.
4. Place them on napkin to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with green chutney and tomato sauce.
You could try making in elongated way or skewered patties too
