Spicy Pea Fritters
Crunchy bites with an explosion of flavour! Add a little chilli for the adults
Ingredients
- 2 cups or 450 grams / 1 pound cooked green peas, mashed
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder adjust to taste
- 1/2 cup or 120 grams chickpea flour
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed green peas, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin powder, chili powder, chickpea flour, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
Shape the Patties:
- Take a handful of the mixture and shape it into a small patty or fritter. Repeat until all the mixture is used. You should get about 10-12 fritters.
Heat the Oil:
- In a frying pan, heat enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan over medium heat. Let it get hot but not smoking.
Fry the Fritters:
- Carefully place the fritters in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if necessary.
- Cook each side until it turns golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain and Serve:
- Once golden and crisp, use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the Spicy Pea Fritters hot with your favorite sauce or chutney.
