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.

Paneer biryaniRice and moong dal in coconut milk

Sabudana khichdiSago with peanuts and potato
Sabudana khichdi is the dish that sees Maharashtra through every vrat (fast), from Navratri to Ekadashi, but it's so good that people eat it any day of the week. Soaked sago pearls are tossed in a pan with crushed roasted peanuts, cubes of potato, cumin and green chilli until each pearl turns glassy and separate, then finished with lemon and coriander. It's soft, chewy, nutty and gently hot. Fasting rules vary from family to family, so check yours; this version uses rock salt and no asafoetida, onion or garlic. Traditionally it's cooked in ghee; use ghee instead of oil if you aren't keeping it vegan. Chef's tip: soak the sago in just enough water to cover by the height of the pearls themselves, no more; too much water is the reason khichdi turns into one sticky lump.
Taiwanese grilled corn
At Raohe and Shilin night markets the grilled-corn stalls are easy to find: look for the queue and the smoky, sweet smell. Cobs are par-cooked, then turned slowly over charcoal while the cook brushes them with a dark glaze of sacha sauce, thick soy paste, garlic and chilli, layer after layer, until the kernels are sticky, slightly charred and deeply savoury. It is eaten hot from a paper sleeve while walking the market. Sacha (shacha) sauce, a Taiwanese barbecue paste, usually contains dried fish and shrimp; vegetarian sacha is sold in Asian shops. Contains soy, wheat and fish. Chef's tip: brush thin coats and turn often; one thick coat burns before the corn chars.
