Ingredients:

  • 1 x 144 g Woolworths Chilli Bite Mix
  • 1 medium potato, boiled and mashed
  • 2 x Woolworths XL Free Range Eggs, whisked
  • 1 T garam masala
  • 1 t cumin seeds
  • 1 t Woolworths Crushed Turmeric
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 cups leftover iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • Oil for frying

To serve:

  • 1 cup Woolworths Double Cream Plain Yoghurt
  • 2 T Woolworths Chilli Crunch
  • Mint leaves

Cooking instructions:

  1. Make the chilli bite mix according to package instructions, replacing the water with whisked eggs.
  2. Add the spices to the batter, season to taste and stir in the shredded lettuce.
  3. Heat the frying oil in a heavy-based pot over medium heat. To see if you are ready to fry, drop a small amount of the batter in the hot oil. If it sizzles, you are good to go.
  4. Carefully, place spoonfuls of batter in the oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.
  5. Place on paper towel and season with salt.
  6. Serve hot with Woolworths Double Cream Plain Yoghurt and Woolworths Chilli Crunch, topped with mint leaves.
