This recipes's great if you've got some scraps of vegetables which you need to either use up fast or throw out. Now, we want to avoid the latter so let's explore the former in the form of mixed veg fritters!
These really taste good when paired with Indian spices to give a pleasant flavour and kick to the dish.
Makes around 9 fritters
Cost per person: 1.33 zl (26 UK pence, 0.32 Euros, 44 US cents)
Prep:
1. You'll need to chop up or grate some leftover vegetables. In this case, I had some carrot, broccoli and red pepper to use up. I also finely chopped up some onion and red chilli with some minced ginger for extra flavour.
2. Get the spices ready too. I'm using:
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp roughly ground coriander seeds
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- a pinch of carom (ajwain) seeds (optional)
- a good pinch or two of salt
3. Beat two eggs in a bowl
4. Now, you could add some regular flour plus some baking powder. However, as I want an Indian feel, I'm using 2 tablespoons of gram flour and 1 tablespoon of rice flour and I'm going to beat this into the eggs to form a batter.
5. Add the spices plus a tsp of crushed fenugreek leaves. Mix well.
6. Mix in the veg.
Now let's cook!
7. Get some oil heated in a pan. Add a tablespoon of the mixture and flatten down onto the pan with the back of the spoon.
8. Give them a good 3 minutes on a medium flame. Flip them over.
9. Give them around 3 minutes on this side too and they should be good to go! Remove from the pan and rest on kitchen paper for a minute.
10. In the meantime, make a yoghurt/ mustard sauce by mixing - you guessed it - some yoghurt with some mustard to taste.
11. Use up all the mixture. Experiment with different sizes! Go crazy!
12. Enjoy!
