Directions

1. To make the batter, combine all the ingredients except the oil in a mixing bowl. Mix well, adding enough water to coat all vegetables.

2. In a deep pan, add the oil to about 1 inch depth. Heat the oil on high until smoking, then lower the heat to medium. Press a spoonful of the mixture between 2 spoons to get a nice compact fritter. Use 1 of the spoons to push the fritter into the oil. Add a few spoonfuls at a time, ensuring that the balls do not stick to one another. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritter until golden brown, about 4 minutes.

3. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked fritters from the oil. Transfer to a paper towel to absorb the extra oil. Skim any loose bits from the oil and discard. Continue until you have used up all the mixture.

4. Serve hot with your choice of chutney
