 Categories: Indian, Tested, Street food
      Yield: 8 Patties
 
      1 cn Chickpeas; drained
  1 1/3 lb Red skin potatoes
      1 tb Ginger paste
      1 tb Dried cilantro

    1/2 ts Black pepper
    1/2 ts Salt
      2 ts Ground cumin
      1 ts Lemon juice

MMMMM--------------------------GARNISH-------------------------------
    1/4 c  Plain yogurt
      2 tb Cilantro chutney
      2 tb Tamarind chutney
 
  Works okay if done fresh.  Does not freeze well.
  
  Boil potatoes until they are tender.  Drain and let cool.  After
  potatoes are cool, peel off the skin and use large holes on hand
  shredder to shred potatoes into a bowl. NOTE NEXT TIME USE MASHED
  POTATOES
  
  Dry chickpeas with paper towels to make sure they are very dry.
  Place in chopper and process until medium chopped texture, not to
  pulp, but still having some larger pieces mixed in with the smaller
  pieces.
  
  Mix all ingredients together, adjust spices to your taste. Spread both
  hands with canola oil.
  
  Divide mixture into 8 to 10 1/4 cup patties, form a tight ball and
  then flatten to a pattie making sure edges are smooth. Make Pattie
  about 1/2 thick. NEXT TIME MAKE LARGER PATTIE
  
  TO FRY

  Heat oil in pan (should cover the surface generously). Heat until a
  small sample of Pattie sizzles when placed in pan.  Fry on both
  sides until both are golden brown.
  
  TO BAKE

  Heat oven to 350 F (375 F in convection oven). Brush each side of
  formed pattie with oil, place on cookie sheet covered with teflon
  foil which has been brushed with oil.
  
  Cook 20 minutes, then turn and cook another 20 minutes, turn over
  again and get both sides to a golden brown.  Watch carefully not to
  over cook. Let cool on pan.
  
  BAKE UNTIL LIGHT BROWN - WILL DARKEN IF REHEATED.
  
  To reheat either version, microwave on 50% for 30 seconds, then place
  in preheated 300 F oven for about 15 minutes.
  
  Have not yet reheated from frozen leftovers - will report later.
  
  Serve warm with garnish if desired.
