Spiced Courgette fritters with yoghurt dressing

125g mashed potatoes

250g coarsely grated courgettes

½ teaspoon salt

4 scallions, finely chopped

45g rice flour

1 teaspoon garam masala

½ teaspoon cumin seeds

½ teaspoon nigella seeds

Oil for shallow frying

Mix the courgettes with the salt and leave for 10 minutes. Squeeze through a sieve to get rid of as much water as possible and place in a bowl with the potatoes, scallions, rice flour, and spices. Mix well. Form into small golf ball size pieces – roll and then flatten. Heat a quarter of thumb nail depth of oil in a frying pan and add the fritters. Cook until golden on both sides – about 2 minutes each side. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with the yoghurt dressing.
