Chickpea and Corn Fritters
Chickpea and corn fritters are a delicious evening snack or a party appetizer made with chickpeas, boiled corn, and a few herbs and spices.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpeas cooked
- 1 cup Corn Kernels boiled
- 1 Carrot small
- 7-8 Black Olives optional
- 2 tbsp Corn Flour/ Maida
Spices and Herbs
- 1/2 tsp Salt adjust accordingly
- 1/2 tsp Pepper powder
- 1 tsp Red Chilli powder
- 1 tsp Chaat masala powder
- 1 Green chilli finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare your boiled chickpeas and boiled corn. (Look at the earlier part of this post for detailed instructions)
- To a food processor, add all the ingredients - cooked chickpeas, cooked corn, olives, cornflour spices and herbs. Blend until you have a course mixture.
- Do a little taste test to ensure that it is to your liking. Bring it to a bowl and mix a little with the use of your hands.
- Make little balls, the size of ping pong balls and flatten them to make patties. Keep making the patties until all the chickpea-corn mixture is used up.
- Place a shallow pan on medium heat, and add 2-3 tablespoons of cooking oil. Once the oil is warm, place the chickpea-corn patties in the center without crowding.
- Once the bottom is sufficiently brown, flip the fritter to brown the other side.
- Remove from the pan and drain the excess oil on a kitchen towel or paper. Garnish the chickpea-corn fritters with some parsely and drizzle lemon juice on top.
- Serve hot with a dip of your choice.
