Curry Sweet Potato and Pea Pancakes

I was craving curry the other night. Just the smell excites me. I decided to put this lovely Indian spice into these homemade sweet potato and pea pancakes.

1 1/2 cup steamed sweet potatoes or yams
1 cup frozen peas, thawed or heated
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 generous tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 tsp flour 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 egg
2-3 tbsp olive oil

Mix and mash all ingredients, except oil. Put 2 tbsp oil in large skillet, heat on medium high. Gently pat together 4 inch patties and set in oil. There should be about 6 patties total. Cook on medium high for about 4-5 minutes or until stiff enough to gently flip. Add one more tbsp of oil if need. Cook on other side for about 3-4 minutes. Gently remove from pan and serve one or two at a time, with a dollop of sour cream on top. Serve over greens or with vegetables.
