Sabudana Burger Patty

Ingredients

• Sago – 1 cup
• Water – about ¾ cup for soaking
• Boiled potatoes – 2 medium, cooled and mashed
• Roasted peanuts – ¼ cup, coarsely ground
• Carrot – ¼ cup, grated and squeezed dry
• Green peas – ¼ cup, lightly mashed
• Green chilli – 1
• Cumin – ½ tsp
• Rice flour – 2 tbsp
• Salt – as needed
• Oil – for pan-frying

Method

1. Soak sago 4 to 6 hours until soft and drain for 15 minutes.
2. Mix sago, cooled potato, peanut, squeezed carrot, peas, chilli, cumin, rice flour and salt.
3. Press a spoonful in your hand. It should hold together without releasing water. Add 1 tablespoon rice flour if too soft.
4. Shape into patties about 1.5 cm thick and chill for 15 minutes for easier handling.
5. Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat.
6. Cook patties 3 to 4 minutes on the first side without moving them until a crust forms.
7. Flip with a broad spatula and cook the second side 3 to 4 minutes until golden and heated through.
8. Use immediately in a bun with lettuce, tomato and a sauce of choice. If making ahead, cool patties before refrigerating and re-crisp in a pan.
