Preparation

Step 1

Dry fry the dried spices for approx. 2 minutes until the aromas are released.
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
Chill the mixture for approx. 30-60mins to allow to firm up and marinade
Uisng your hands, form patties approx. 1.5-2cm thick and fry for approx. 5 minutes on each side. To omit most of the oil, you could coat the outside in a very light covering of oil and bake them for approx. 15 minutes until golden.
