Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 420 grams (14.8 ounces) flour
- 2 eggs
- 80 grams (2.8 ounces) curd cheese, crumbled
- 140 grams (4.9 ounces) yoghurt
Vegetables:
- 2 carrots, grated
- 1 red pepper, finely chopped
- 6 spring onions, finely chopped
- 1 pinch of parsley, finely chopped
Seasoning and Leavening:
- 10 grams (0.35 ounces) baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 100 milliliters (3.4 fluid ounces) milk
Frying:
- Vegetable oil (as needed)
Instructions
- Assemble the colorful vegetable medley by finely chopping red pepper, spring onions, parsley, and carrots in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Incorporate beaten eggs, tangy yoghurt, smooth milk, and crumbled curd cheese into the vegetable mixture, whisking until ingredients harmonize.
- Gently fold sifted flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, stirring carefully to create a cohesive, textured batter.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F, ensuring sufficient depth for frying.
- Using a tablespoon, carefully drop batter portions into the sizzling oil, allowing each fritter to develop a crisp, golden exterior.
- Flip fritters after 2-3 minutes, cooking until both sides achieve a rich, amber-brown color and maintain a crunchy texture.
- Transfer fried fritters onto absorbent paper towels, allowing excess oil to drain and preserve their delightful crispness.
- Present the fritters immediately while warm, accompanied by a complementary dipping sauce or as a vibrant side dish.
Notes
- Choose fresh, crisp vegetables for maximum flavor and texture in your fritters.
- Drain excess moisture from grated vegetables to prevent soggy batter and ensure crispy results.
- Adjust batter consistency by adding more flour if too runny or a splash of milk if too thick.
- Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for even, golden-brown frying without burning.
