Grate the zucchini, carrot, and potato into a large bowl.
Finely chop the red bell pepper, green onions, and garlic clove, and add to the bowl.
Add the chickpea flour, water, baking powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the vegetables and mix well until you get a thick batter-like consistency.
Chop the cilantro finely and add it to the mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot (test by dropping a small amount of batter into it – it should sizzle immediately), scoop spoonfuls of the vegetable mixture and carefully drop them into the oil.
Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of sauce or dip.
