Instructions
Place the potatoes in a saucepan of salted, simmering water. Cook for 13–15 minutes until soft. Drain well then return the potatoes to the pan and stir over a low heat for 1–2 minutes to evaporate any residual water. Push the potatoes through a sieve and add the breadcrumbs, corn flour and oil. Season with salt, mix to combine, then roll 1 tablespoon of the mixture into a ball. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture and set aside.
In a mortar and pestle, pound the peanuts into a paste then add the sesame seeds, coconut, raisins, ginger, chilli, coriander and sugar. Pound a few times then add the lemon juice and mix until well combined. Roll 2 teaspoons of the spice mixture into marble-size balls.
Flatten a potato ball in the palm of your hand and place a spiced ball in the centre. Fold the potato around the spice ball and roll to enclose. Repeat with the remaining balls.
Heat 10 cm of oil in a deep sauce pan to 180˚C. Deep-fry potato dumplings for 3–5 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
Serve hot with chutney.
