Summary

The tikka masala paste is an absolute flavour bomb in elly curshen's recipe. breadcrumbing the fritters makes them feel more substantial and the crunchy coating works well for use with poached eggs. the paste is punchy, but not too spicy. add a spoonful, taste, then adjust. remember, you can add but you can’t take away!

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, peas, tikka paste and spices, then season. Mix well. Using wet hands, shape into 4 equal balls, then flatten into fritters, approx 2cm thick.

Step 2

Place the flour, beaten egg and panko into separate shallow bowls. One by one, coat the fritters in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the beaten egg, then into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 3

In a large frying pan, heat the oil over a medium-high heat. Carefully add the fritters and fry for about 10 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown, crisp all over and piping hot in the middle. While the fritters fry, poach the eggs to your liking. I add the white wine vinegar to the water before they go in.

Place 2 fritters on each serving plate. Top each plate with a poached egg, then season. Serve with baby spinach or wilted kale and a wedge of lemon.
