Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
- Place them in a medium pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain and mash the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In the meantime, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the curry powder and grated ginger root to the skillet, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the grated zucchinis to the skillet, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
- Drain and rinse the canned lentils. Add them to the skillet and stir to combine, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add the vegetable and lentil mixture to the bowl with the mashed sweet potatoes.
- Stir in the bread crumbs until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Form the mixture into patties, about the size of your palm.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the patties in batches, about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and finely chopped spearmint leaves. Mix well until combined.
- Season with a pinch of salt, if desired.
- Serve the curried lentil patties warm, with a generous dollop of minted yoghurt on the side.
Tips:
- For an extra crispy finish, pan-fry the patties in a bit of oil for 2-3 minutes on each side before baking.
- Feel free to add other spices or herbs to the patty mixture to suit your taste preferences.
- The minted yoghurt can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge to enhance the flavors.
- If you prefer a vegan option, use a plant-based yogurt alternative.
Curried lentil patties with minted yoghurt offer a savory and refreshing meal that balances hearty ingredients with a zesty sauce. These patties are perfect for meal prep, as they store well and can be enjoyed throughout the week. The combination of flavors and textures makes this dish a standout choice for any occasion.
