Instructions

Boil, steam or microwave the potato until just tender. Drain. Place in a medium bowl and mash until smooth.
Stir in the curry paste. Cool for 5 minutes.
Place the chickpeas in a small bowl and roughly mash. Add the chickpea, beans, shallot, coriander, egg and flour to the potato and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Spoon 4 x ¼-cup measures of potato mixture into the pan and flatten to 1cm thickness. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until browned lightly and cooked through.
Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat twice more with remaining oil and potato mixture to make 12 patties.
Combine mint and yoghurt in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the patties with mint yoghurt and lime wedges.
