👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
In a bowl, combine the finely minced prawns, mashed potato, chopped onion, green chilies, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped curry leaves, and coriander leaves.
- 2
Add turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper powder to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined. The mashed potato will act as a binder.
- 3
Shape the mixture into small, flat patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
- 4
Prepare two shallow dishes: one with beaten egg and another with breadcrumbs.
- 5
Dip each patty first into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be about 1/2 inch deep for shallow frying.

Carefully place the coated patties into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the patties from the pan and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
