Sweet Potato, Carrot & Lentil Patties with Ginger Sauce

Vegetarian patties, known as tikkies, are a popular street food in India. They’re made with a combination of vegetables and a potato base. This protein-rich sweet potato version offers a tasty – and even more wholesome – twist on that tradition. Lentils, vegetables and seeds are bound together with gluten-free flour for dunkable patties that go perfectly with a simple sweet chili, sunflower and ginger sauce. Hard to believe, but they’re even better the next day for lunch! We don’t question the magic; we just enjoy them – twice.
