Ingredients

• 1 medium, grated Carrot
• 1 medium, grated Zucchini
• 1 small, finely chopped Red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup, thawed Frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0 for frying Oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine grated carrot, grated zucchini, chopped red bell pepper, thawed peas, chopped cilantro, and minced garlic.

Step 2

Add chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the vegetable mixture.

Step 3

Mix well until all the ingredients are combined, forming a dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more chickpea flour.

Step 4

Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

In a deep pan, heat enough oil for frying over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, carefully add a few vegetable balls at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Fry the vegetable balls for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the balls from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 9

Repeat the frying process with the remaining vegetable balls.

Step 10

Serve the crispy vegetable balls hot with your favorite vegan dipping sauce.
