Directions

Step 1

Chop it!

Step 2

Spice it!


In a bowl, combine BANG!'s spices with 50ml of water. Blend into a smooth, thick paste. Pour the paste into the pan and continue on a low heat for approximately 4 minutes. This will magically turn into your curry sauce! Then mix the peas and warm through very gently. Add the mixture to the cooked potatoes, and mix in the besan flour, lemon juice and salt. Combine well then form the mixture into golf ball size balls. Shape into patties.
