One of the most delicious snacks that I have ever made is the Vegetable Fritters. It is savoury and can either be eaten on its own or with chili sauce, tomato sauce or mayonnaise. It is easy to make. The vegetables need not be limited to the types mentioned below. You may include or mix them other vegetables that you like. It can be pan-fried or deep-fried. You can make them soft or crunchy. This snack can be eaten during mid-morning hours, during afternoon tea or even during supper time.
Ingredients:
- 120 g cabbagee
- 100 g carrots
- 25 g green onions
- 135 g onions
- 75 g rice flour
- 50 g all purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Cooking oil
Method:
- Wash and julienne the cabbage.
- Wash and grate the carrot into thin strips.
- Wash and cut the green onions into 0.5 cm length.
- Peel, wash and cut the onions lengthwise.
- Add all the vegetables to a big mixing bowl.
- Add the rice flour and all-purpose flour to the bowl.
- Add eggs to the bowl.
- Add salt, black pepper powder and baking powder to the bowl.
- Mix all the ingredients till they are well-combined.
- (Decide whether it is to be pan-fried or deep-fried. If you want crunchy fritters, then deep-fry them. The cooking oil must cover the batter. You can still obtain crunchy fritters if you were to pan-fry them; you have to spread the batter as thinly as possible.)
- I have decided to pan-fry them to have a crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside fritters. I may deep-fry them next time.
- Add oil to the pan. Let the oil heat up.
- Scoop a spoonful of batter onto the pan. Use a spoon to shape the batter into a round mass.
- Let the batter cooked till it is golden brown on the bottom.
- Flip it over to brown the other side.
- Remove the fritter onto a kitchen towel to soak up excess oil.
- Repeat till all the batter has been cooked.
- Serve the fritters while they are hot.
