Drain water and mash up, add curry powder and diced coriander stalks. Season to taste. Allow the mash to chill or place in fridge for an hour. 

Heat a non stick pan until hot and add a little oil. Then make a 90g ball of the bubble and squeak mash and place into the hot pan. Cook until golden both sides, around 6 mins.
