Preparation Time: 15 mins Cooking Time: 10 mins Serving: 6 Credit: Neelam Batra

• 2 (8-ounce) russet potatoes
• 1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup finely grated carrots
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh coriander
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
• 1 chili, stemmed, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup (or more) vegetable oil
• Chaat masala (optional)
• Paprika

Instructions:

1. Place potatoes in medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; cool
2. Peel cooled potatoes, place in medium bowl, and mash. Add 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, carrots, and next 6 ingredients. Mix lightly (do not mash).
3. Divide mixture into 12 portions, using about 1/4 cup for each. Shape each portion into ball, then press lightly to form patty about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
4. Preheat oven to 200°F. Whisk eggs in medium bowl to blend. Place remaining 1 cup breadcrumbs on large plate. Coat patties first in egg, then in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere.
5. Transfer patties to clean large plate. Heat 1/3 cup oil in large skillet over medium heat. Working in 2 batches, cook patties until brown, about 5 minutes per side, adding more oil by tablespoonfuls as needed. Place patties on rimmed baking sheet. Transfer sheet to oven to keep patties warm.
