How to Make Bangladeshi Potato Kebabs

  1. Boil 1 lb potatoes until tender. Mash thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped tomato, 2-3 chopped green chilies (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tbsp coriander powder, 1 tsp black pepper, 2 tbsp oil, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1 egg, and 1 tsp red chili powder.
  3. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 1 egg.
  5. In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour.
  6. Shape the potato mixture into small, flat patties (about 2 inches in diameter).
  7. Dip each patty in the beaten egg, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  8. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  9. Carefully place the kebabs in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove the kebabs from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  11. Garnish with sliced cucumber, carrot, and onion. Serve hot and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
