How to cook

Prepare meat mixture

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Combine the minced chicken with all the other ingredients and fry for 4–5 mins or until the minced meat is dry.
This will help to prevent the filling from adding more moisture to the potato mix.

Prepare potatoes

Add potatoes into a pot and fill with enough water to submerge them.
Place it over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 10-12 mins depending on their size.
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and remove the skin.
Let the potatoes steam dry for 3 mins to remove excess moisture.
Add in all remaining ingredients and mash the potato well.

Start cooking

With lightly oiled hands, shape the mash into a circular puck shape at least 2 cm high.
If adding fillings, make an indent in the center of the puck and add 2 tsp of filling.
Fold the edges into the center to wrap the filling and pat it down to reshape it back into a puck.
In a non-stick pan, add enough oil to cover the base of the pan for shallow frying over medium-high heat.
Pan fry each side of the patty for 2 mins or until brown.
Flip only when the bottom edges start to turn brown.
Serve with garlic-lime yoghurt dip.
