How to prepare the chickpea fritters with vegetables
Place the chickpea flour, salt, turmeric and pepper in a bowl. Mix with a spatula.
Add the water and whisk until smooth with a hand whisk.
Add the grated zucchini and carrots. (Let the zucchini drain after grating and squeeze them with your hands before adding them to the batter). Mix with the spatula.
Pour a drizzle of oil into a nonstick pan and brush it with a kitchen brush to distribute it evenly over the surface.
When the pan is hot, take a heaping tablespoon of batter and pour it into the pan, flattening it slightly to form a small fritter. Cook over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes per side, turning them gently with a spatula when the edges are golden and start to release easily.
Storage
The fritters keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2 days. To restore crispness, heat them for a couple of minutes in a pan or in an air fryer before serving.
