List of Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes
2 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon curry powder (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 green onions
1 cup whole wheat flour
cornmeal
chutney for serving


Recipe

Wrap sweet potatos in foil and roast till done (45min?) in a 375 ºF degree oven. Peel and mash and combine with the egg whites, curry powder, cayenne, salt, and minced green onion and then stir in the flour and baking powder. You might want to add a little more flour if the mixture is too runny, but it will be really soft. Put a layer of cornmeal on a plate and plop about 1/3-1/2 cup of the mixture on it and flatten.

Use a spatula to flip and coat both sides with cornmeal. (Use lots of cornmeal to prevent sticking!). Use the spatula again to transfer the cake to a "Pam"-sprayed cookie sheet. Bake them at 375ºF for about 20 minutes, turning once to brown both sides. Serve them with your favorite chutney-from-a-jar and rice or noodles. This will make enough for two hungry people 3 - 6 cakes depending on the size of the potatos and how big you make them.
