These healthy Curry Spiced Carrot Fritters are full of flavor and crunch - a perfect appetizer for any party. Plus, they're incredibly easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb carrots about 5 cups, finely shredded
- 1 1/2 tsp salt divided
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup flour or your favorite gluten-free flour
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter + more as needed
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil + more as needed
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Toss the carrots with 3/4 tsp salt and let drain in a strainer for 15 minutes; press to squeeze out any excess water.
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then add the carrots, flour, garlic, curry powder, 3/4 tsp salt, and black pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp each of butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat until melted. Scoop four 1/3 cup scoops of the batter into the skillet, and flatten each with a spatula (about 1/2" thick). Cook until the bottom of the fritters are golden, about 4-5 minutes.
- Flip and cook about 3 minutes more, but be careful to not burn the fritters. Transfer to paper towels to absord extra oil. Wipe the skillet and repeat until all the batter is used up.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp olive oil into the yogurt.
- Serve fritter warm with the yogurt dipping sauce.
