Boil the potatoes in salted water; drain well, mash and keep aside. (ensure that the potatoes are mashed after the water has drained well).

In a large pan, heat 1-2 tbsp oil and brown the mince in batches and transfer to a large mixing bowl. (Make sure the mince is browned on high heat to minimize the amount of water released and cook the mince till dry).

In the same pan, heat 1-2 tbsp oil and add the chopped onions, ginger and garlic. Sauté till the onions are soft and translucent; next add all the spice powders and mix well. Remove from heat, cool lightly and add to the mince.

Also add the mashed potatoes to the mince mix. Season with salt and mix well to combine.

In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper; keep aside

Place the Panko crumbs in another bowl and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Shape the mince mixture into small bite-sized balls (you can make any shape you wish),

Dip each ball first in the beaten egg and then roll in the Panko crumbs to coat well. Repeat for each ball till done. (Tip: use your left hand to dip the ball in the egg, and use your right hand to coat in the crumbs; this way you will not transfer excess egg into the crumbs and make it go soggy).

Heat enough vegetable oil in a large wok/pan and deep fry the croquettes in batches.

Remove and place on a kitchen towel for a few seconds to absorb excess oil.
