Courgette And Aubergine Fritters
Spicy bhaji style fritters- delicious!
Difficulty Level: easy
Ingredients
- Makes around 10 small fritters
- 1/2 courgette, grated
- 1/2 aubergine, finely sliced
- 1tsp curry powder
- 100g plain flour
- 2 tbsp milk
- 75ml water
- salt and pepper
- oil for frying
Instructions
*courgettes and aubergines can hold a lot of water, so once grated and sliced you will need to spread them over kitchen roll to absorb some of the moisture.*
first, make the batter. Mix the flour with the curry powder and season with salt and pepper.
add the water and milk, then mix to form a thick pancake-like batter.
add the courgette and aubergine to the batter and coat well.
for deep frying, you will need about 2cm of oil in a saucepan. Heat the oil on high, but don’t let it get smoking! You can test to see if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small amount of batter in the oil- if it sizzles straight away it’s ready.
place teaspoon sized amounts of batter into the oil, then fry until golden brown. This will take about 1 minute on each side. Drain on kitchen roll and sprinkle with salt.
great with mango chutney!
