SERVES 4

Mixed vegetable fritters is the perfect snack on a cold and rainy day. Pair it with hot chai and you are almost glad that it is raining outside and you are stuck at home. ๐Ÿ˜Š While these fritters can be made with just one vegetable such as cauliflower, potato or onions, I like to use a mix of vegetables and get a variety of textures in a single bite of the fritter. In this recipe I serve the fritters with truffle sriracha. However, you can serve it with tomato ketchup too. The fritters also go well with coriander, mint or green chilli chutney.

ยฝ cup gram flour

ยผ cup rice flour

2 green chilies chopped

1 tbsp mint leaves, chopped

1 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped

1 tsp ginger-garlic paste

ยฝ tsp garam masala

ยฝ teaspoons carom seeds

ยฝ tsp red chilli powder

ยผ tsp turmeric powder

ยผ tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt (adjust as needed)


Vegetables for the fritters

2 asparagus, chopped into 2 in long pieces

ยผ cup red bell pepper, chopped

ยผ cup green bell pepper, chopped

ยฝ medium onion, finely slices

1 cup spinach, chopped

6 green beans, chopped into 2 in long pieces

1 cup cauliflower, chopped into 1 in long pieces

Vegetable oil for deep frying. I use peanut or sunflower oil

For garnishing

3 slices of black truffles

2 tbsp sriracha sauce

1 tbsp coriander chutney

ยผ tsp chaat masala


1 Chop the truffle slices into very small pieces (almost powdering it). Warm the sriracha in a microwave oven for about 15 seconds. Add the truffle to the sriracha and mix well. This is the truffle sriracha that you can serve with the fritters.

2 In a bowl, mix the vegetables, ginger-garlic paste, green chillies, mint, coriander, ยฝ tsp of salt and garam masala.

3 Take the gram flour in a separate bowl after passing it through a fine sieve. Add the rice flour, chilli powder, turmeric, carom seeds, baking soda and ยฝ tsp of salt. Mix well.

4 Add the gram flour mixture from step 2 to the vegetable mixture in step 1 and mix well. If needed add 2-3 tbsp water to create a batter of the right consistency for frying. The batter should not be too runny.

5 For frying the fritters, heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan to about 375 ยฐF.

6 When the oil is hot, use a ยผ cup measure to scoop the vegetable batter mixture and slide it in the hot oil. Fry the fritters in batches. Each batch will need to fry for about 2ยฝ minutes.

7 Remove each batch of fritters after frying and place them on a plate lined with paper towel to absorb any residual oil. Sprinkle the chaat masala on the fritters.


Serve the fritters with the truffle sriracha and coriander chutney.
