- Get a large, deep frying pan and fill it with vegetable oil (you need the oil level to be around 2cm [0.8 inches] high). When the oil is hot, spoon 1 generous tablespoon of vegetable mixture in the pan (to make sure the fritters are evenly shaped I use a round cookie cutter as a guide, adding the vegetable mixture inside the cookie-cutter). Flatten the top of the fritter. Repeat to make a second fritter. Depending on the size of your pan, you should be able to cook 3 to 4 fritters at once.vegetable oil to fry
- Cook for 2 to 3 mins until you can flip the fritters on the other side. When the fritters are golden, transfer to a side plate lined with some paper towel until you cook the rest.
- Serve the fritters warm topped with chopped spring onion, red chilli peppers and (dairy-free) yoghurt as well as the dipping sauce on the side.spring onions, red chilli, dairy-free yoghurt
