Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to prepare these delicious cheese vegetable fritters:
  • 2 medium carrots, finely grated
  • 1 zucchini, coarsely grated and pressed using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to thoroughly remove excess water
  • 100 g grated cheese (such as Emmental, Comté, mozzarella, or mild cheddar)
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 70 g chickpea flour (or wheat flour for a classic version)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying (olive oil or sunflower)

Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the vegetables

Combine carrots, zucchini, and onion in a large bowl.Lightly season with salt and allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes. Once softened, press or wring out the vegetables to eliminate any excess moisture.

2. Mix the ingredients

Add the eggs, cheese, spices, and flour. Mix until you get a uniform batter. If the mix is too wet, gradually add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it holds together easily.

3. Shape the fritters

Form small patties with your hands (or use a tablespoon for more precision).

4. Fry

Warm the oil in a non-stick pan set over medium heat. Fry the fritters 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

5. Drain and serve

Place the fritters on a paper towel to drain excess oil, then serve them hot with a side of yogurt sauce, spicy chutney, or a zesty dipping sauce of your choice.
