  • Now, SLOWLY pour over the water (start with a little, you might not have to use all the liquid) and carefully stir everything.
    The mixture should look chunky and almost as if there is "barely" any batter and as if there are more veggies than batter. This is what makes the consistency of fritters different from pancakes.
    **The mixture should NOT look like pancake or cake batter.
    raw chickpea flour batter
  • Heat a pan with oil and scoop out 2-3 tablespoons worth of batter and from small ovals/circles. Fry on each side for about 5-7 minutes before flipping.
  • Once both sides have properly cooked and are golden brown, allow them to dry on a paper towel for a few minutes and enjoy!
