Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Chickpea flour
- 50 grams Whey protein isolate (unflavored)
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 grams Carrots, julienned
- 100 grams Cabbage, shredded
- 100 grams Bean sprouts
- 2 stalks Scallions, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Red chili, finely chopped (optional)
- 200 milliliters Water
- 200 milliliters Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour and whey protein isolate.
Add water gradually while whisking to form a smooth batter.
Crack the eggs into the batter and continue to whisk until well mixed.
Stir in turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are well incorporated.
Fold in the vegetables: carrots, cabbage, bean sprouts, and scallions. Also add minced garlic and chopped red chili (if using). Mix everything until the vegetables are well coated with the batter.
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Scoop 2 to 3 tablespoons of the vegetable batter and carefully place it in the hot oil, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon. Repeat for multiple fritters but do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry the bakwan sayur for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fritters from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to ensure even cooking.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. Optionally, accompany with sweet chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
