Ingredients

• 4 medium carrots
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 2 stalks green onions, finely sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup plain yoghurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon salt (for dressing)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and grate them using a box grater. Place the grated carrots in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, all-purpose flour, egg, green onions, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the carrot mixture and form it into a small patty. Place it onto the hot skillet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 5

Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Add more olive oil to the skillet between batches as needed.

Step 6

To prepare the yoghurt dressing, mix the plain yoghurt, lemon juice, fresh dill, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Serve the carrot fritters warm with the yoghurt dressing on the side for dipping or drizzling.
