1. Place sweet potato and lentils in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 mins, or until tender. Drain. Return to pan and mash. Set aside to cool.
2. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic and spices. Cook, stirring, for 2 mins, or until fragrant. Mix with sweet potato, cilantro, egg, flour, ground almonds and 1 cup breadcrumbs. Shape into 12 patties. Coat in remaining breadcrumbs, shaking off excess. Chill for 20 mins.
