2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled
1 cup all-purpose flour (yes, add in 1 cup flour!)
1 tablespoon sugar (can use less)
2 -3 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
12-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
1 tablespoon curry powder (can use less)
2 teaspoons cumin
salt and pepper
4 eggs, slightly beaten
¾ cup milk (more if needed)
oil (for frying, vegetable or peanut oil)

1
Grate the sweet potatoes on a coarse grater.
2
In another large bowl mix together flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cayenne pepper, curry powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
3
Add in the slightly beaten eggs to the spice/flour mixture and whisk just enough milk to make a stiff batter (you might use more than 3/4 cup milk for this.
4
The batter should be moist but not runny, if the batter is stiff then add/whisk in a bit more milk, but start with 3/4 cup, adding/whisking in more if needed.
5
Add in the grated sweet potatoes; mix to combine with a wooden spoon (if you find that the batter is too runny after you add in the grated sweet potatoes then add in a bit more flour, too dry then add in a bit more milk).
6
Heat oil in a large frypan until hot but not smoking.
7
Drop the batter by tablespoons in the hot oil and flatten slightly.
8
Fry over medium heat for several minutes on each side until golden.
9
Drain on paper towels.
