Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Carrot, grated
- 1 cup Zucchini, grated
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 Green chili, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Grate the carrot and zucchini, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, combine the grated carrot, grated zucchini, chopped onion, cilantro, and green chili.
Add the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, cornstarch, red chili powder, ground cumin, turmeric powder, and salt to the vegetable mixture.
Gradually mix in the water to form a thick batter. Make sure the batter coats the vegetables but is not too runny.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Scoop small portions of the batter (about 2 tablespoons each) and carefully drop them into the hot oil.
Fry the fritters in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the spicy vegetable fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
