Yes, comfort food are finding their way in although it has not been as cold as it used to be this time of the year.<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/potato_cake03.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/potato_cake03.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Now, I made these potato rosti cakes for brunch last Saturday and they turned out really nice. After I had eaten them, I went online to see how other people made them and I was surprised to see that a lot of recipes require the potato to be parboiled or if using raw to squeeze out all the liquid. I used mine completely raw and didn&#8217;t squeeze out any liquids in the recipe and the cakes turned out really good nevertheless. What I did do differently though is to add a bit of flour in the mixture to absorb the liquid. Well, I just did this out of common sense and previous experience making veggie burgers.<br \/>\nI used a mixture of gram and rice flour to make the cakes gluten free but plain flour will work fine too.<\/p>\n<p>I also added some other veggies and chillies just for a little twist since I like it hot!<\/p>\n<p><b>Potato Rosti Cakes<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Ingredients <\/b>(about 10 small cakes, depending on the size you make them)<br \/>\n5 &#8211; 6 potatoes, peeled and grated (I used an organic one that is good for boiling, roasting and mashing&#8230;)<br \/>\n2 large carrots, grated<br \/>\n5 &#8211; 6 mushrooms, roughly chopped<br \/>\n2 &#8211; 3 green chillies, finely chopped<br \/>\n3 tablespoons gram flour (plain or all purpose flour is also fine)<br \/>\n3 tablespoons rice flour (plain or all purpose flour is also fine)<br \/>\nFresh coriander to taste, finely chopped<br \/>\n1\/2 teaspoon asafoetida (optional)<br \/>\nPeri peri seasoning or a dash of paprika<br \/>\nSalt to taste<br \/>\nOil for pan frying<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mix all ingredients together until well combined in a big bowl.<\/li>\n<li>Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan; I used a quite deep one.<\/li>\n<li>Drop 2 generous tablespoons (or use an ice cream scoop) of the mixture in the frying pan. If you can fit a few cakes in, drop a few more but don&#8217;t place them too close or it will be difficult to turn over.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/potato_cake02.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/potato_cake02.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don&#8217;t touch the rosti and cook for about 5 minutes on one side until a slight golden crush is formed.<\/li>\n<li>Carefully turn it over and cook for another 3 minutes or so on the other side.<\/li>\n<li>Repeat with remaining mixture.<\/li>\n<li>Serve warm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/potato_cake01.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/potato_cake01.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p><b>Now, the annoncement!<\/b> Maybe you already know about it already if you&#8217;ve seen my updated sidebar. I have recently opened a shop &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bijouxlovlie.etsy.com\/\">Bijouxlovlie<\/a> &#8211; on Etsy. I am featuring handmade cruelty-free jewellery and accessories. The idea of having this shop came from Boyfriendlovlie. I have been making my own jewellery and accessories for a while and he suggested that I put some online for people who might be interested in purchasing cruelty-free jewellery.<br \/>\nAt the moment, I also have a section in the shop &#8211; &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/BijouxLovlie?section_id=10627823\">Gaia Collection<\/a>&#8216; &#8211; where 30% of all sales are going to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.treesisters.org\/\">TreeSisters Organisation<\/a> to support their plan of reforesting parts of Asia and Africa.<br \/>\nI hope you will also support them by making a contribution and spreading the word.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to follow my adventures in jewellery making and more, I have created another blog for this &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bijouxlovlie.com\/\">Bijouxlovlie<\/a>.<br \/>\nI am not abandoning this blog though!
