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! :)
