Makes: 16

Ingredients

Cakes:
½ cup buckwheat flour
1 cup buckwheat flakes
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp NOMU Cajun Rub
350g grated zucchini

15 mint leaves, thinly sliced
½ tsp garlic
½ tsp ginger

To prepare the cakes, place all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the remaining ingredients and, using a wooden spoon or your hands, gently bring the dough together. Be careful not to overmix.

Dip your fingers in some flour and shape the dough into flattened patties approx 1cm in thickness.

Gently heat the oil in a deep frying pan and shallow fry the cakes until golden brown on each side. Set aside to drain on kitchen paper.

Serve the buckwheat cakes with the minted yoghurt as a refreshing accompaniment on the side.
