Ingredients

  • 250 gm potatoes

    500 gm grated zucchini

    1 long red chilli, finely chopped

    ½ cup rice flour

    1 tsp sea salt

    A pinch of chilli powder

    1 clove garlic finely chopped.

    ½ cup Jalna Greek yoghurt

    1 pinch sea salt

    1 lemon

Method

  • Place potatoes in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Cook for 20 minutes until soft then drain, return to the pan and coarsely mash.

    Meanwhile, place tomatoes in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside to soften for around 10 min, then drain and finely chop. In a mixing bowl fold in paprika, chilli, garlic and Greek yoghurt, Season to taste.

    Place grated zucchini in a clean tea towel or chux and squeeze over a bowl to remove excess moisture. Transfer zucchini to a large bowl with chilli, cooked potato, green shallot and rice flour. Season to taste and mix well to combine.

    Heat 2cm of oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Shape ¼-cup measures of the potato mixture into mini footballs to make 12 in total. Fry, in batches, until golden and crisp around 6 min. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

    Serve croquettes with yoghurt and lemon wedges for squeezing.
