Instructions
Prepping the Batter
-
In a large bowl, take the thickly grated zucchini. To it, add the chopped onions, garlic and celery.
-
Add the whole wheat flour and chickpea flour.
-
Season the mix with black pepper powder, black salt, regular salt, and mix well.
-
Add ½ teaspoon baking powder and mix very well.
-
In case the batter becomes too thick, add a little water.
For Frying the Fritters
-
In a deep cast-iron skillet heat approximately 200 ml Ambuja Gold Refined Soyabean Oil.
-
Add small chunks of the batter using a small spoon or your hand, and let them shallow fry on medium heat. Add only 4-5 fritters at once
-
Make sure the batter isn’t too thin, as the fritters might split. In case the fritters split, add some more wheat flour to the batter to help it thicken.
-
With the back of the spoon or measuring cup, spread lightly. Do not spread thin as the fritters will break.
-
Let the fritters cook until crisp from one side. Only then, flip them to cook the other side. Now, fry until both sides are crisp and golden brown in colour.
-
Take out the fritters using a strainer.
-
Similarly, use the remaining batter to prepare more fritters.
