Ingredients:
- 1 medium potato
- 1 carrot
- 1 onion
- 6-7 spring onions
- 3/4 cup (110 grams) chickpea flour
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) plant-based milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Directions:
1. Prepare Vegetables:
- Peel and grate the potato and carrot. Finely chop the onion and spring onions.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, mix the chickpea flour, salt, ground cumin, and a pinch of black pepper.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
- Gradually pour in the plant-based milk into the chickpea flour mixture, stirring continuously to ensure there are no lumps and you get a smooth batter.
4. Mix Vegetables with Batter:
- Add the grated potato, carrot, and the chopped onions and spring onions to the batter. Mix well until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the batter.
5. Heat Oil:
- Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. You’ll need enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
6. Fry the Fritters:
- Once the oil is hot, scoop a spoonful of the vegetable and batter mixture and drop it into the pan. Flatten it slightly to form a patty.
- Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
