"Balti" Chicken and Spicy Potato Cakes

This was an emergency meal that turned out pretty good. I had some chicken in the freezer and cold mashed potato from the night before.
For the potato cakes I fried finely chopped onion, garlic, chilli and red and green peppers until they were soft. Then I added a couple of teaspoons of cumin, a teaspoon of garam masala and a bit of turmeric and fried for a couple of minutes. I let this cool then mixed it with the potato which I then made into flat patties. These are then egg and breadcrumbed and deep or shallow fried til brown. They turn out sort of like an Indian style bubble and squeek and the breadcrumbs give a good crispy texture against the soft inside. Good with yoghurt mixed with mint, garlic, coriander etc.
Frozen, skinless, chicken breasts are one of the most tasteless meats you can eat so I spiced it up just by coating it in Pataks Balti paste with a bit of extra chilli and garlic. I left it in the spice paste to marinade all day then griddled it until parts went nice and black so it kinda tastes bbq'ed.
