-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 medium sweet potatoes -- (orange inside), around 700g or 1 1/2 pounds in total
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 small cloves garlic -- chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 big handfuls fresh cilantro -- or coriander, chopped
Juice of half a lemon
1 cup gram flour -- or chickpea flour, scant cup (120 g)
1 dash splash olive oil
To finish: -- a sprinkling of sesame seeds
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 425F degrees (220C) and roast the sweet potatoes whole
until just tender - 45 minutes to 1 hour. Turn off the oven, leave the
potatoes to cool, then peel.
Put the sweet potatoes, cumin, garlic, ground and fresh coriander, lemon
juice and gram/chickpea flour into a large bowl. Season well, and mash
until smooth with no large chunks. Stick in the fridge to firm up for an
hour, or the freezer for 20-30 minutes. When you take it out, your mix
should be sticky rather than really wet. You can add a tablespoon or so
more of chickpea flour if necessary (the water content of sweet potatoes
varies enormously).
Reheat the oven to 400F/200C. Using a couple of soup spoons (put a
well-heaped spoonful of mix in one spoon and use the concave side of the
other to shape the sides) or a falafel scoop if you have one, make the
mixture into falafelly looking things and put them on an oiled tray.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and bake in the oven for around 15 minutes,
until the bases are golden brown.
Makes about 18 falafel, enough for 4 - 6.
ChupaNote: spray tablespoons with vegetable spray to make easier to remove
falafel dough. Also added a generous sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
