Description

A delicious Gluten-Free vegetarian fritter with chickpeas, spinach and zucchini spiced with cumin, coriander and fennel seeds.

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces, weight Chickpea (besan, Garbanzo) Flour
  • 2-⅞ ounces, weight Potato Flour (Starch)
  • ¾ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt (1/2 Teaspoon Table Salt)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 2 teaspoons Corainder (cilantro) Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin Seeds
  • 3 teaspoons Ground Fennel Seeds
  • 1-½ teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (plus 2 Teaspoons For US/UK Measures)
  • 1 cup, 2 tablespoons, 2-¾ teaspoons, 1 pinches Cold Water
  • 2 whole Zucchini (Courgette), Coarsely Grated
  • 1 can (400g Or 14oz Can) Chickpeas, Drained And Crushed
  • 4 whole Spring (green) Onions, Finely Sliced
  • 1 cup Frozen Peas, Thawed
  • ½ pounds, 2-⅝ ounces, weight Baby Spinach Leaves, Roughly Chopped
  • 1 whole Small Handful Basil Leaves
  • 8 tablespoons, 5-⅝ pinches Vegetable Oil, For Frying

Preparation

Into a very large mixing bowl (and I mean the largest one you’ve got) sift the chickpea and potato flours with the baking powder. Add the salt, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, fennel, chili powder and mix together with a whisk. Add the extra virgin olive oil and the cold water and whisk until combined and smooth.

Coarsely grate your zucchini and squeeze out any excess water and add to the batter along with the drained and crushed chickpeas, finely sliced spring onions and thawed frozen peas, fold into the batter gently.

Roughly chop your baby spinach and basil leaves and add to the batter, folding until all the spinach has been covered in batter and everything is well mix together. Don’t worry here if it looks like there is hardly any batter coating the vegetables, it works. Trust me.

In a deep bottomed non-stick fry pan heat your vegetable oil over a medium high heat until very hot. Place large spoons of batter (around 2 Tablespoons a pop) into the oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan (I usually do 4 at a time in a large fry pan).

Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until a nice golden brown. Once both sides are browned, remove from pan and place onto a paper towel to drain. Repeat with the rest of the batter. (If you have someone else to do the washing up for you, have two or three pans going at once to really speed the cooking process up.)

Serve warm with grilled haloumi cheese and lemon juice. Makes around 22 fritters.

Also, check out the King Arthur website. They have every type of flour under the sun!

These look great…I’ll definitely be trying these in the near future!

You can use corn starch, in the same amount, as a sub for potato flour (ie, potato starch).

Since I live in the back woods of Texas, and can’t find potato flour, would plain all-purpose work?
Thanks, sounds too yummy!
