Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in a large pan of salted water for 15 mins until tender. Drain, return to the pan and mash until smooth.
  2. Meanwhile, add half the oil to a large pan and cook the onion for 10 mins until soft. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli and spices and fry for 2 mins. Add the Brussels sprouts and fry for 3-4 mins.
  3. Transfer the spiced vegetable mix to the mashed potato pan, season and mix together until well combined.
  4. Take a heaped tablespoon of the mix and shape into mini potato cakes. You should have around 20.
  5. Place the cornflour on a plate, dip each potato cake in to coat and shake off any excess.
  6. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the potato cakes for 2-3 mins until crisp and golden on both sides.
  7. Mix together the mango chutney and nigella seeds in a small bowl. Swirl together the free-from yogurt and mint sauce in a separate bowl. Serve the spicy potato cakes on a large serving platter with the dips.
