Kuku Sibzamini

Yield: 4
Author: Shayma Saadat

Ingredients

  • 500 g potatoes
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp saffron threads, crushed to a powder-form
  • oil for shallow-frying

Instructions

  • Wash, scrub and quarter potatoes
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil
  • Cook potatoes in pot of boiling salted water for 10 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork
  • When the potatoes are fork-tender, drain them, and when cool, remove the skin, (which will come off very easily)
  • Mash potatoes with a masher till you see lumps (the potatoes should not be mashed till smooth). Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl add eggs, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, turmeric powder and saffron. Beat to combine.
  • Add the egg mixture to potatoes and stir gently to combine. The mixture will be thick.
  • Place a large non stick frying pan on medium high heat and add a few tablespoons of oil for shallow frying.
  • Drop tablespoons of the mixture into the frying pan. Fry about 30 seconds on each side till golden.
  • Serve hot with thick yoghurt and fresh herbs.
