Curry-flavored potato croquettes
Ingredients:
1/4 lb. ground meat
1 lb. potatoes
1/2 medium yellow onion, minced
1/2 egg, beaten (to mix with the potato)
1 teaspoon curry powder (optional)
1 tablespoon oil
salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste
1/2 cup flour
1 egg, beaten (to coat the korokke)
2 cups bread crumbs
enough canola oil for deep-frying
8 cabbage leaves, thinly sliced and soaked in cold water until serving time
Cooking time: about 90 minutes
Servings: 4
Preparation
Directions
Boil or microwave the unpeeled potatoes. Place the oil in a frying pan and
add the onion. Saute until the onion is tender. Add the ground meat, salt,
pepper, nutmeg and curry powder, then saute about 3 minutes until
crumbled. Set the meat aside while you peel and mash the potatoes.
Thoroughly mix the potatoes and the meat in a large bowl. Divide the
potato mixture into eight parts, and shape each portion into a 1/2-inch
thick ellipse. Dredge each portion in the flour and pat off the excess flour.
Dip them into the egg and then into the bread crumbs on a plate. Deep-
fry them at 350F for about 3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Drain them on paper towels. Serve with thinly sliced cabbage and your
favorite sauce (i.e. A1 steak sauce, ketchup, Heinz 57 or Japanese tonkatsu
sauce).
