Curried Onion Mushroom and Potato Cake, Slimming World Syn Free on Extra Easy and Suitable for Vegetarians

I was looking for some options for a side dish to a Slimming World Curry Recipe and couldn't find anything that didn't contain either a lot of Flour (Syns) or Deep Fried (Syns) so I created this as an attempt at a replacement. Its fairly simple and relatively quick to make.

Ingredients

3 Medium Potato's (Peeled)

1 Medium Onion

4 Medium Sized Mushrooms

Curry Powder (I used Tikka Powder, but what ever flavour is your personal preference)

Frylight

Salt

Method

Peel 3 Potato's and soak in cold water for a few mins to help reduce the starch levels.

Peel and finely chop Onion.

Peel and finely chop Mushrooms.

Lightly fry off the Onions and Mushrooms in Frylight and a pinch of salt, add in Curry Powder and fry off together for a couple more mins. Ive found a couple of teaspoons is about the right amount for my taste but this can be altered to your taste. 

Strain and dry off the potato and then use a fine grater and grate potato. Mix grated potato with the fried Onion and Mushroom into a bowl and mix together well. Split the mixture into 4 equal balls and then flatten out into round circular 'cakes' about 2-3 cm thick.

Using a Griddle or a frying pan heat some frylight until it starts to sizzle and add in the individual cake pieces and fry for 3-4 mins on one side until golden brown. (Do not be tempted to turn to quickly as this will often result in the cake breaking up.) Once first side is nicely cooked flip and cook on other side for roughly the same length of time. 

Remove from pan and serve.

If you want to change the flavour or want to make them more spicy you can add in fresh Chilli, Chilli Powder or Cumin Seeds etc.

As always please feel free to leave any comments or feedback and if you do try adapting the recipe or adding in other flavours please let me know how it goes! 

Enjoy! :)

A little Update and what to expect from future recipes!

Been a while since I last posted and this is due to the fact that I myself have joined Slimming World in an effort to lose some weight and it has meant a fairly huge change to the type of food I have been cooking and the ingredients and methods of cooking I have been using. Therefore there has been a lot of trial and error and developing of recipe's and I haven't wanted to post anything without having ensured that I am completely happy with it first.

I am generally following the Extra Easy Plan with Slimming World and from now on the majority of recipes will be Syn Free or Low Syn food on this diet plan. I will try to give Syn Values for the dishes where appropriate and also state if it is on Extra Easy, Red Day or Green Day plans. Please bear in mind though that whilst I am trying my hardest to be as accurate as possible, for my own sake as much as yours, none of these recipes will be Slimming World Approved and may have slightly wrong Syn Amounts. I will also be editing my previous recipes where appropriate to give more information based around the Slimming World Diet Plans.

My recipes will still include a mixture of Meat Dishes and Vegetarian Options as I am Meat eater but my partner is Vegetarian and also following Slimming World Diet. I hope any of you who try the recipe's continue to enjoy them and hopefully appreciate the slightly healthier feel to them!
