Ingredients:

600g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1 onion
160g
1 tsp curry powder
5g
1 can canned lentils
400g
1 zucchini
300g
2/3 cup greek yogurt
160g
1 tsp ground cumin
5g
2 cups mixed greens (or salad mix)
140g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and dice the potatoes.
- Place them in a pot of water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Drain and mash the potatoes. Set aside.
2. Sauté the Onion:
- While the potatoes cook, finely chop the onion.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté the onion until soft and translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
3. Make the Patties:
- Add the curry powder to the sautéed onions and cook for another minute.
- Drain and rinse the lentils.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, seasoned onions, and lentils. Mix well.
- Form the mixture into patties (approximately 8-10 patties).
4. Cook the Patties:
- Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining olive oil.
- Heat over medium-high heat.
- Cook the patties in batches, 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Place the cooked patties on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
5. Prepare the Zucchini Salad:
- While the patties are cooking, grate the zucchini.
- In a small bowl, mix the grated zucchini with the Greek yogurt and ground cumin.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Assemble the Dish:
- On each serving plate, place a handful of mixed greens.
- Top with a couple of curried potato patties.
- Add a generous spoonful of the zucchini salad on the side.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while the patties are warm and crispy.

Tips:

- Choose starchy potatoes, such as Russet or Yukon Gold, for a better texture in the patties.

- Drain the canned lentils well to avoid excess moisture in the patties.

- Shred the zucchini and squeeze out excess water using a clean cloth or paper towel to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.

- If you're short on time, you can prepare the patties ahead and reheat them before serving.

- Adjust the level of curry powder to match your heat preference.

- Serve the patties immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor.
