Ingredients
- 1 kohlrabi
- 1 carrot
- 1 small red onion
- 1-2 green chili peppers
- 1- inch ginger grated
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp mint leaves chopped
- 4 tbsp cilantro/coriander chopped
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 tbsp corn starch sub with potato starch
- Oil for brushing the surface
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- 2 tsp red chili powder
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp amchur/dry mango powder sub: sumac
- ½ tsp chaat masala
Instructions
- Grate the vegetables (kohlrabi, carrot) and aromatics (ginger, onion, green chili), with a grater or the grating function of a food processor.
- Place them on a muslin cloth laid over a bowl and add a tsp salt to this andante mix with your hand.
- Let it sit for around 30 minutes to draw out the moisture (this ensures crispier fritters that don’t get soggy with time).
- After 30 minutes, squeeze out the liquid with the help of the muslin cloth
- Set the liquid aside for later. (We will need a few tbsp for forming the ”dough”). Remove the muslin cloth and place the grated veggies in the bowl.
- Now add all the flour, cornstarch, and spices to the veggies and mix well.
- Add a few tablespoons of the reserved liquid to form a pliable dough that you can form into 1/2-inch thick disks.
- Take a flat skillet and oil it well. On medium heat, add the kohlrabi fritters to the pan.
- Cook them for 2 minutes or more and flip when one side is golden brown.
- Keep flipping to get crispy golden brown sides.
- Remove them from the skillet and serve hot with a side of mint-cilantro chutney. Enjoy!
