Vegetable fritters are a delicious, crispy snack made by mixing shredded or chopped vegetables with a seasoned batter and frying them until golden brown. They are perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or even a light meal.
Basic Vegetable Fritter Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture)
- 1 cup grated carrots
- ½ cup finely chopped onions
- ½ cup corn kernels (optional)
- ½ cup finely chopped bell peppers
- ½ cup chickpea flour (or all-purpose flour)
- ¼ cup rice flour (for extra crispiness)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cumin or paprika (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or minced garlic
- 1 egg (or flaxseed egg for a vegan version)
- ¼ cup water (adjust as needed for consistency)
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the vegetables.
- Add the flours, baking powder, and seasonings. Mix well.
- Add the egg and a little water, stirring until the mixture holds together but isn’t too runny.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and flatten slightly.
- Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
- Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with yogurt dip, spicy chutney, or a simple squeeze of lemon.
