CURRIED SWEET POTATO LATKES from Great Performances
1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and grated ½ c all-purpose flour 2 tsp sugar 1 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp baking powder 2 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp ground cumin 1/4 tsp turmeric 1/4 tsp cayenne/ chilli powder Salt and pepper 2 large eggs, beaten ½ c milk Oil
Mix the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, and salt and pepper. Add the eggs and just enough milk to the dry ingredients to make a stiff batter. Add the potatoes and mix. The batter should be moist but not runny; if too stiff, add more milk. Heat ¼ inch oil in a cast iron pan or heavy-bottomed sauté pan until it shimmers. Drop in the batter by tablespoons and flatten. Cook several
minutes on each side until golden. Drain on paper towels and serve.
