Ingredients
Fritters
- 1 large egg
- 4 Tablespoons water
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala available in the spice section of most grocery stores
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 hot green chile finely chopped
- 2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 medium onion peeled and diced
- vegetable oil for frying
Cilantro Chutney
- 8 Tablespoons PLAIN yogurt divided
- 2 1/2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro coarsely chopped
- 2 1/2 Tablespoons fresh mint coarsely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Fritters
- Whisk egg into a bowl and beat well. Add the water and the lemon juice. Mix. Add remaining ingredients, chickpea flour through cilantro and mix well. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a deep fryer or wok, over a medium high heat. Jaffrey suggests 3 inches of oil, but I use less, maybe an inch?
- When the oil is hot, put the chopped onion in the batter and mix. (This should be done just before frying)
- Drop batter by heaping tablespoons into the hot oil. Working in batches, frying 3 or 4 at a time, depending on the size of your pan. Turn fritters to brown on both sides, about 3 or 4 minutes per side. Remove fritters with slotted spoons and drain on a plate lined with paper towel. Serve with Fresh Green Chutney.
Chutney
- Put 2 Tablespoons yogurt, mint, cilantro, lemon and salt in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Beat remaining 6 Tablespoons yogurt in a bowl and add herb/yogurt mixture, stirring until mixed. Refrigerate until ready to use.
