Curry CroquettesIngredients (use vegan versions): 1/2 package Yves ground "beef" or Smart Grounds
1 lb. potatoes
1/2 medium yellow onion, minced
1 egg equivalent (egg replacer works well)
1 teaspoon curry powder or curry sauce mix (optional, add more if you want a strong curry flavor)
1 tablespoon oil
salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste
1/2 cup flour
1 egg equivalent (I would suggest egg replacer, not flax meal)
2 cups bread crumbs (panko is best)
enough canola oil for deep-frying
Directions:Boil or microwave the unpeeled potatoes. Place the oil in a frying pan and add the onion. Saute until the onion is tender. Add the ground "meat", salt, pepper, nutmeg and curry powder, then saute about 3 minutes until crumbled. Set the meat aside while you peel and mash the potatoes. Thoroughly mix the potatoes and the meat in a large bowl. Divide the potato mixture into eight parts, and shape each portion into a 1/2-inch thick ellipse. Dredge each portion in the flour and pat off the excess flour. Dip them into the egg replacer and then into the bread crumbs on a plate. Deep-fry them at 350F for about 3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Drain them on paper towels. Serve with thinly sliced cabbage and your favorite sauce (i.e. A1 steak sauce, ketchup, Heinz 57 or Japanese tonkatsu sauce).
You can replace or add to the veggie meat with small vegetables (peas, corn, small carrot pieces, etc.)
