Instructions

  1. Cook the teff as per packet instructions and set aside to cool.
  2. In a medium bowl add the curry powder, red pepper flakes, salt, cracked pepper and sifted chickpea flour. Make a well in the middle and slowly add the water whisking until you have a nice smooth batter.
  3. Toss the onion, cilantro and veggies in a bowl with the grated ginger, turmeric and the teff. If you are using potatoes or zucchini squeeze the excess liquid out of the grated vegetables first.
  4. Use your hands to mix well.
  5. Add the batter, stirring well.
  6. Using a large frying pan (I used cast iron skillet which works very well) heat the oil to 375°F (190C). Spoon the mixture in carefully and shallow fry in small batches until golden, around 5 minutes, flipping them over half way. Drain on paper toweling and serve immediately.
I served these fritters as pictured on hummus with chopped onion, tomato and cucumber.
