Latke

Ingredients

• 2 cups potato, shredded
• 1 cup, yellow squash or chayote, shredded
• 1 cup, carrot, shredded
• 1/2 cup onion, shredded (optional)
• 1 cup whole-wheat or regular breadcrumbs (pulse 3 slices in a mixer or use ready-made)
• 1-2 green chillies, finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp garam masala (optional)
• 4 tbsp cilantro (coriander leaves), finely chopped
• 3-4 tsp vegetable oil
• Salt to taste
  

Preparation

1. Keep the shredded vegetables immersed in a bowl of water to prevent from discoloring, and to wash out some of the excess starch.
   
   
2. Heat the oven to 450°.
   
   
3. Brush a baking sheet with some oil or spray with a vegetable oil spray and set aside.
   
   
4. Gently squeeze out the water from the shredded vegetables, and add salt, green chillies, garam masala, bread crumbs, and cilantro. Mix lightly and make 2- 2 1/2-inch round patties.
   
   
5. Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium heat.
   
   
6. Place the vegetable patties on the skillet and cover and cook on medium heat for 3-5 minutes until crisp and brown on the underside.
   
   
7. Transfer these patties to the baking sheet, brown-side down.
   
   
8. Bake the latkes in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on top.
   
   
9. Serve plain or with yogurt raita or ketchup.
