Masala Mustard Greens Patties

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of mustard greens or spinach, shredded
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 tsp oil
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 4 green onions
• 1 tsp garlic paste or minced garlic
• (5-10 jalapeno rings, optional)
• � cup frozen peas
• � tsp mango powder
• � tsp ginger powder
• � tsp salt
• pepper
• 1/3 cup chickpea/garbanzo flour � cup breadcrumbs or white poppy seeds
• oil spray or dabs of oil for frying

Spice mix:

• � tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• � tsp paprika

Directions:

1. Steam the mustard greens or spinach until wilted. Set aside.
2. Boil the potatoes until cooked through. Mash and set aside
3. Heat the oil until it is sizzle-hot. Add the cumin seeds. When they darken a few shades, add the green onions, garlic and jalapeno slices. Now add the masala. Saut� until the garlic is golden-brown
4. Add the peas, ginger powder, mango powder and salt and pepper. Cook until the peas are heated through.
5. Dump the pan’s contents into a large bowl and combine with the mashed potatoes, chickpea flour and wilted greens.
6. Form this batter into 2-inch size balls. (A little larger than a golf ball). Smash it into a patty. Put the breadcrumbs or white poppy seeds in a small bowl and hold the patty over the bowl while sprinkling both sides of it for a coating.
7. Spray a skillet with oil (or use a dab of oil). Place the patties in pan (we do ours one at a time) and spray more oil on the top of the patty. Alternately you can use dabs of oil. Fry each side until golden brown. Done.
