1 tblsp mild curry powder

Method

Step 1

Place flour into a large bowl. Add eggs, sweet potato, currants, curry powder, and 1/2 cup of the mint. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.

Step 2

Heat enough oil in a large, deep frying pan to shallow-fry over a medium heat. Add 1 tblsp of the mixture, spreading slightly to make a small fritter. Repeat to make six more.

Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove. Cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining mixture to make about 24 fritters in total.
