Ingredients

1/2 cup plain flour

1/2 cup self-raising flour

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped

2 cup frozen roast lamb, thawed

1/2 cup chopped mint

vegetable oil, to shallow-fry

Method

1.Sift flours into a large bowl. Combine egg and milk in a jug. Pour into flour, stir to combine. Add tomato, lamb and mint.

2.Heat oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over moderate heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil). Place lamb mixture into heated pan, in 1/3 batches, cooking 3-4 patties at a time. Cook 2 minutes. Turn, then cook for a further 2 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

3.Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Add peas. Cook 3 minutes, or until tender. Drain, return to pan. Add butter, mash until almost smooth. Season.

4.Serve patties with mashed peas and chutney.

Add a small can of sweet corn kernels, drained, to patties. Try using leftover chicken, beef or pork instead of lamb.
