In this yummy recipe, succulent and semi-spicy potato cakes, cooked crisp in a tava, are topped with a tangy and sumptuous gravy, which features mixed beans in a tomato base. The gravy is quite simple and easy to prepare – boiled beans cooked quickly with just tomatoes, onions and minimal spices.


However, together with the potato cakes, it transforms into an exotic, multi-textured and excitingly flavoured treat. You will also find the Potato Cakes topped with Beans and Tomato Gravy to be quite filling, so you can have it as an evening snack , or give it to children after school .
