Ingredients

• Potatoes - 300 grams
• Chickpeas - 100 grams (canned, drained)
• Massaman curry paste - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut milk - 100 ml
• Breadcrumbs - 50 grams

Steps

1. Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks, then boil them in salted water for about 15 minutes or until tender.
2. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a bowl. Mash them until smooth.
3. In another bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
