Gâteau Patate

What we know so far

Gâteau patate, "gato patate" in Creole, is the Mauritian Diwali sweet: a soft dough of boiled white sweet potato and flour, rolled thin, cut into rounds, filled with grated coconut, sugar and cardamom, folded into half-moons, sealed with a fork and fried golden. Hindu families make them by the hundred for the Festival of Lights and hand them round to neighbours of every faith; the rest of the year they are sold at roadside stalls and bakeries and eaten with tea.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
