1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Oil for frying
# Instructions:
01 -
Boil your potatoes in a large pot of water for about 10-15 minutes until they're nice and tender.
02 -
While the potatoes cook, fry your onion and carrot in oil until soft. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
03 -
Drain the cooked potatoes completely, then return to low heat for a few minutes to dry them out, stirring to prevent burning. Mash them while they're still warm.
04 -
Mix the curry roux with hot water to make a paste. Add this to your mashed potatoes along with the meat mixture and egg. Season to taste.
05 -
Shape the mixture into 8 oval croquettes. Coat each one first in flour, then beaten egg, and finally panko breadcrumbs.
06 -
Heat oil to 350°F and fry the croquettes in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
