Grate the Carrots: Start by peeling the carrots and grating them using a fine grater. The finer the grate, the smoother the fritters will be. Place the grated carrots in a large bowl.

Combine Flour and Spices: In a separate mixing bowl, combine 150 g of plain flour with ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of curry powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the flour.

Add Carrots to Dry Mix: Add the grated carrots to the bowl with the flour mixture. Toss the carrots in the flour mixture until they are evenly coated. This will help bind the ingredients together and form a cohesive batter.

Add Fresh or Dried Basil: Stir in finely chopped fresh basil or crumbled dried basil according to your taste preference. Basil adds a fresh, aromatic element to the fritters.

Season to Taste: Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Taste the mixture and add more spices if desired.

Prepare the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Shape the Fritters: Using a spoon or your hands, form small patties or fritters from the mixture, flattening them slightly. Place them carefully in the heated pan.

Cook Evenly: Cook each fritter for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip the fritters gently to ensure even cooking.

Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. This will help keep them crispy.

Serve Warm: Serve the fritters warm, either on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice. They make a delicious and versatile addition to any meal.
