Method
Cook the potatoes in boiling water for 10 minutes, drain, mash then set aside to cool. Cook the peas for 3 minutes in boiling water, drain and set aside.
Add the onion, garlic, ground coriander, zest, flour, eggs and fresh coriander to the potatoes, mix, then stir though the peas. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with the mint; season.
With two dessertspoons, take almost a heaped spoonful of the fritter mixture then, using the other spoon, smooth and make a nugget shape. Leave to firm up in the fridge.
- Heat the oil in a wok and cook the fritters in batches, then drain on kitchen paper. Serve immediately with the minty yogurt, or reheat later in a hot oven.
