Method
0/6 doneStep 1: Mix 1 ⅛ lb potatoes, 4 tbsp cassava flour, 1 tsp green chilli paste, 1 tsp ginger paste, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice into a smooth, soft mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Step 2: In another bowl mix 2 ⅞ oz fresh coconut, 2 tbsp fresh coriander, ¼ tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp lemon juice for the filling.
Step 3: Divide the potato mixture into 15 equal portions. Pat one portion into an 8 cm round on a lightly oiled palm.
Step 4: Put about 1 teaspoon of filling in the centre, fold the edges over and cover it from all sides. Roll gently between your palms and press a little to flatten. Shape the rest the same way.
Step 5: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat (about 350°F). Fry the pattice a few at a time, turning once, until golden brown and crisp all over.

Potato chakri
Potato chakri are crisp, light spirals made with rice flour and boiled potato, flavoured with ginger, chilli, lemon, sesame and coriander. The potato makes them extra tender-crisp. They keep for about 3 weeks in an air-tight container, so make them ahead for Diwali or guests.
Masala khakhra
Khakhra are thin chapaties roasted slowly on a griddle until they turn crisp, like a cracker. This masala version adds gram flour, fresh fenugreek, turmeric and chilli to the wheat dough. They are a light Gujarati breakfast or tea-time snack, and lovely with pickle, chutney or a smear of butter. You can also make them in a roti maker.
Bean sprouts
Sprouting whole green grams makes them crunchier, quicker to cook and more nutritious. All you need is muslin, water and a warm spot, and they're ready in 3–4 days. Use them in salads, bhel, usal and stir-fries. Any other whole pulse sprouts the same way.
