- Add the spices and tamarind paste and saute for a further 2-3 minutes.
- Decant everything into a blender along with the pouch of beans and pulse a few times until it forms a pasty texture, whilst retaining some texture from the beans.
- Decant into a mixing bowl and stir in the sweet potato and bread crumbs.
- Form into 7 x 90g patties. Stir all ingredients for the coconut yoghurt together and set aside in a ramekin.
- Take a clean frying pan and fill with 1cm of the cooking oil. Set on a medium heat and then begin to fry the patties in two batches, turning once they are golden brown on each side (around 4 minutes).
- Once the patties are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with kitchen towel before serving alongside the yoghurt and lime wedges.
