INDIAN POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan over a low heat. Add the shallots, mustard seeds, turmeric, chilli, ginger and garlic, and cook gently until the shallots are soft. Add the potatoes and continue to cook slowly for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are soft.
• Stir through the lentils, season and continue to cook for another 2-3 mins to warm them through. Pile a quarter of the mixture into each pancake and fold the sides in to make a triangle. Pop the spinach in the pan while it's still hot, just to wilt it, and serve on the side, with mango chutney and yogurt, if you like.
