Vegetable Fritters: A Crispy and Flavortul snack

 







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:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all the vegetables.
  2. Add the flours, baking powder, and seasonings. Mix well.
  3. Add the egg and a little water, stirring until the mixture holds together but isn’t too runny.
  4. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and flatten slightly.
  6. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
  7. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  8. Serve hot with yogurt dip, spicy chutney, or a simple squeeze of lemon.
