1
Peel sweet potato and boil/steam until soft.
2
Drain off the water.
3
Drain, rinse and pat dry the chickpeas.
4
Place sweet potato and chickpeas in a food processor with spices and egg and blend until smooth.
5
In a bowl combine sweet potato mixture with carrot, zucchini and onion (first ensure all liquid has been squeezed out of the grated veggies) and mix well.
6
Roll into 6-8 balls and refrigerate for a 1/2 hour to firm them.
7
Heat a frying pan (I used cast iron) over medium heat with a little oil.
8
Once oil is hot add the balls and fry on both sides, around 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and heated through.
9
Serve with a garden salad and spicy chutney.
10
Other serving suggestion: heat up a sheet of roti or mountain bread, spread with chutney and roll some broken patties and salad inside like a burrito.

Enjoy!
