Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lbs fresh yams (or 1 15-oz can yams, rinsed and drained)
1/2 cup besan (also called gram , chickpea flour)
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil, for frying

Directions:

Wash and peel the yams. Boil until tender, about 20 minutes.
Drain the yams thoroughly and puree in the food processor with the flour. A thick and sticky mixture should result.
Add the seasonings and pulse again.
Form little discs with your hands (I hope you washed them) about the size of half-dollars. (50p coins to those across the pond.).
Shallow pan fry in olive oil, blot on paper towels.
Serve with tamarind date sauce or a good chutney (many fine chutney recipes on the zaar!).
