Ingredients

• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Carrot
• 0.5 Red bell pepper
• 2 Scallions
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 1 cup Chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 cup Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by grating the zucchini and carrot using a box grater. Squeeze the excess moisture from the grated zucchini to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.

Step 2

Finely dice the red bell pepper and scallions. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the grated and chopped vegetables to the dry ingredients and mix gently to combine.

Step 5

Pour the water into the mixture gradually, stirring until a thick batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon.

Step 6

In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a little batter into the oil. If it sizzles and comes to the surface, the oil is ready.

Step 7

Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite vegan dipping sauce or chutney.
