Summer is lovely time for fresh produce and there are hundreds of ways of preparing them.

If you get tired of the roasting and sauteing – here is a simple and fresh vegetable fritter which you can make with almost any vegetable you have at hand.

I have used:

Yellow squash

Corn

Onion

Cilantro

Ginger

Chickpea flour made into a batter akin to that of pancakes

salt and pepper to taste

green chiies

oil

(You can use spinach, zucchini, peppers, potatoes, green peas and so much more)

Grate all the vegetables that you are using and make the chickpea flour batter.

If you can’t find chickpea flour which is easily available in Indian markets, use semolina or white flour – the flavor will be different but delicious nevertheless.

Mix the vegetables with the batter and add the spices and cilantro, even mint if you have it.

Heat some oil in a nonstick pan and spoon dollops of the mixture.

Let brown on one side for a few minutes and then on the other.  Make sure that the flour is cooked through.

Serve hot with cilantro chutney, ketchup in a pinch 🙂

The leftovers make great sandwiches and I just snack on em whenever I am hungry.

Please try these and let me know if you came up with your own vegetable combinations.

Until I cook again!
