Notes

  1. You can also serve the fritters with tomato sauce or ketchup if you like
  2. Add more veggies like zucchini, green peas etc to make them more nutritious.
  3. Make it gluten free with gluten free all purpose (plain) flour
  4. This can be made vegan with almond milk or soy milk
  5. You can also bake or air fry these fritters. However, I highly recommend shallow frying them for extra crispiness.
