Parsnip Fritters with Salad
All the flavour of a takeaway bhaji without any of the deep-frying!
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Peel and grate the parsnip and carrot (using a food processor for speed if you can!) and mix together in a large bowl, together with the chickpea flour, curry powder, curry leaves and 1 1/2 tsp salt. Massage with your hands to release a bit of the moisture from the vegetables - you’re after a really thick cake batter consistency. Stir in the egg, mix again and set-aside (chickpea flour needs a few minutes to sit in its batter before it's ready for frying!).
Step 2
Meanwhile prepare your salad by tossing together the onion, tomato, cucumber, lemon juice and half the coriander in a salad bowl. Season to taste.
Step 3
Next prepare your coriander yoghurt by stirring together the remaining coriander and yoghurt in a small bowl. Season to taste.
Step 4
Now it's back to your fritters! Separate your batter into 12 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and gently flatten into a fritter shape.
Step 5
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add a glug of oil. Once hot, add some of the fritters and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm whilst you repeat with the remaining fritters.
Step 6
Serve your warm fritters on a large sharing plate, alongside your salad and coriander yoghurt.
