Kenyan Irio Cakes with Tomato Spinach

This recipe is based it on a Kenyan classic, irio: a bean, sweetcorn and potato mash. Irio is fantastic as it is, but I wanted to make it a bit more special and created irio cakes served with lovely tomato spinach that would not (I hope) be out of place in any Kenya home.
