    cup milk
  • 1
    cup Betty Crocker™ Mashed Potatoes
  • 1 1/2
    teaspoons garam masala
  • 1
    teaspoon chili powder
  • 1
    teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1
    teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2
    teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2
    teaspoon salt
  • 2
    tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3/4
    cup frozen sweet peas, cooked, cooled
  • 2
    tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
  • 1
    tablespoon finely chopped jalapeño chile
  • 1/2
    cup plain yogurt
  • 3
    tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6
    small sprigs cilantro, if desired

  • Steps

In 2-quart saucepan, heat water and butter to boiling. Remove from heat; stir in milk and potatoes just until moistened. Let stand about 30 seconds or until liquid is absorbed. Beat with fork until smooth. Transfer to medium bowl; let stand 10 minutes to cool.

    Sprinkle garam masala, chili powder, coriander, cumin, ginger and salt over potatoes; stir to combine. Sprinkle cornstarch over mixture; stir to combine. Add peas, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, and the jalapeño chile. Mix completely. In small bowl, mix remaining tablespoon cilantro with the yogurt; stir to blend, and set aside.

      Divide potato mixture into 12 equal-size balls. Gently flatten each ball into 1 1/2-inch patty, 1/2 inch thick.

        In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Working in batches, cook patties about 5 minutes, turning once, until brown on each side and heated through. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate; continue until all patties are cooked.

        Serve topped with dollop of yogurt mixture; garnish with cilantro sprigs.
