Carrot & Courgette Fritters
November 13, 2021
These were so quick to make and the cumin works so well. The boys loved them. They ate them with a poached egg and a little ketchup and both finished their plates. Cumin is a source of iron and promotes digestion. The carrots provide fibre and vitamin A, and the courgette adds vitamin C.
Ingredients
- a large Courgette grated
- 2 Carrots grated
- 2 Eggs
- a tsp Baking Powder
- 6 tbsp Plain Flour
- 2 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1/2 cup Frozen Petit Pois
- a splash Olive Oil
Instructions
- In a bowl whisk together your eggs, baking powder, flour and cumin.
- Squeeze your grated carrot and courgette over a sink to remove excess water and add to the bowl.
- Add the frozen petit pois and mix it all together.
- Add your olive oil to a frying pan over a medium heat.
- Drop in a heaped spoon of the mixture and flatted with the back of your spoon. They will need to cook for about 3 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. Cook for an additional minute for larger/thicker ones.
- Repeat for the remaining fritters. I like to cook in batches of 2 or 3. Lower the heat if they begin to brown or burn.
Notes
Great served with a poached or fried egg. If you’re unsure about them being cooked through, finish them all off in the oven at 120C for 5-10 minutes.
