Light Lunch • Vegetarian • Serves 4
Golden, crispy vegetable patties packed with preserved lime, served with a refreshing preserved lime Greek yogurt. A bright, savoury combination that works beautifully as a light lunch, appetizer or side.
The preserved lime brings a lively citrusy depth to the vegetables, while the cool, creamy yogurt balances the flavour perfectly.
YOU’LL NEED
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and finely grated
- 2 carrots, finely grated
- 1 small onion, finely grated
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp GOAJARS Preserved Lime Paste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3–4 tbsp flour
- 2–3 tbsp panko breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crispiness)
- Olive oil, for frying or brushing
- PRESERVED LIME YOGURT
- 1 cup thick Greek yogurt
- 1–2 tbsp GOAJARS Preserved Lime Paste
- Freshly ground black pepper
METHOD
1. After grating the vegetables, squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This is the key to crisp, well-shaped patties.
2. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and add the egg, GOAJARS Preserved Lime Paste, black pepper, flour and, if using, the panko breadcrumbs. Mix until everything is well combined.
3. Shape the mixture into small, flat patties.
4. Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3–4 minutes per side, until deeply golden and crisp. Alternatively, brush with oil and bake at 200°C for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway.
5. Meanwhile, stir together the Greek yogurt and GOAJARS Preserved Lime Paste. For a little extra heat, add GOAJARS Smoky Harissa or GOAJARS Kashmiri Chilli Paste to taste.
6. Serve the patties hot with a generous spoonful of the preserved lime yogurt for dipping or spreading.
