Ingredients:

  • 2 large potatoes (approximately 400g), peeled and finely grated
  • 1 large onion (approximately 200g), finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (30g) chickpea flour (besan)
  • 2 tablespoons (16g) cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (2g) ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1g) ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1g) turmeric powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2-3 tablespoons (30-45ml) water (as needed)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely grated potatoes, chopped onion, chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Ensure thorough mixing to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  2. Gradually add water to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a thick batter consistency that binds together well.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a small portion of the batter is dropped into it.
  4. Using a spoon or your hands, take approximately two tablespoons of the batter and shape it into a flat, round patty.
  5. Carefully place the formed patty into the hot oil, ensuring it doesn’t break apart. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, making sure not to overcrowd the frying pan.
  6. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to gently flip them over midway through the cooking process for even browning.
  7. Once the fritters are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  8. Serve the Vegan Onion and Potato Fritters hot, garnished with fresh herbs like chopped cilantro or parsley, alongside your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
