Ingredients

Coriander (Dhania) Leaves 1/2 cup, finely chopped
Gram flour (besan) 3 tablespoons
Green Chilli 1, finely chopped
Salt to taste
Sunflower Oil for brushing

Instructions

To create these delightful Carrots and Coriander Fritters, start by grating the carrots and placing them in a mixing bowl. Next, incorporate the finely chopped coriander leaves, green chili, and gram flour into the bowl, seasoning everything generously with salt. It’s essential to mix well, as the grated carrots will gradually release moisture, which will serve to bind the mixture together; you’re aiming for a batter that is slightly thicker than typical pancake batter.

Now, heat a skillet over medium flame and lightly brush it with sunflower oil. Using a ladle, pour out a portion of the batter onto the skillet, carefully spreading it to form small discs. Add a little oil around the edges and allow the fritter to cook for about 2 minutes until the underside is golden brown. Flip the fritter over and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes until it achieves a lovely crispness.

Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter. These Carrots and Coriander Fritters are perfect as an evening snack for children; serve them warm alongside a glass of milk, or pack them into lunch boxes for a nutritious treat. For an added layer of flavor, pair them with Dhaniya Pudina Chutney during your tea time, enhancing the overall snacking experience. Enjoy these vibrant and wholesome fritters that bring a taste of Indian cuisine right to your table!
