Ingredients

  • ½ a can chickpeas garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  • 3 carrots peeled and grated
  • 2 scallions (spring onions) chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ¼ cup (25g) plain (all-purpose) flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ras el hanout spice mix
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for frying
  • Sour cream, yogurt or crème fraiche to serve

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mash the chickpeas slightly, in a large bowl. Add the grated carrot, scallions/spring onions, eggs and milk and stir. Sift in the flour, baking powder, ras el hanout and salt. Stir to combine.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat until hot. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the oil, flatten slightly and fry for a few minutes until golden. Flip and cook the other side.
  3. Serve immediately topped with the sour cream, yogurt or crème fraiche.

Notes

  • Be sure to get the pan hot before adding the carrot fritters so they get nice and crispy on the outside. Just not soo hot that they burn!
  • You'll know when to flip your fritters because they start to sizzle. Though you can always lift one and take a peek to make sure it's golden.
  • If you don't have any ras el hanout spice mix, then substitute for garam masala, or equal parts cinnamon, paprika and ground coriander.
  • Make them gluten-free by using gluten free flour and baking powder.
