Spiced Cornbread Fritters

Ingredients

1/2 cup of chickpea flour (gram flour)
1⁄2 cup of ground cornmeal
2 green chili’s chopped
2 tsp of Maani’s Curried Chickpea Spice Blend
3 Tbsp of Chopped Cilantro
Salt and Pepper
3 Tbsp of Canola Oil
2 cups of water

Yogurt Dipping Sauce:
1⁄2 cup of sour cream
1⁄2 cup of greek yogurt
1 Tbsp grated lemon zest
2 Tbsp of fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic chopped
salt and pepper
Combine everything together and
mix to make a smooth yogurt sauce

Directions

Heat the 2 cups of water in a large fry pan over medium heat and add the Maani’s Chickpea Spice Blend, salt and pepper.

1. Turn the frypan heat to low and mix in the chickpea flour and cornmeal and mix vigorously to ensure there are no lumps for approx. 5 minutes. If there are a few small lumps that’s okay. Once this becomes a thick mixture stir in the green chili’s and pour onto a baking sheet and chill for 20 minutes in the fridge to allow to set.

2. Once the chickpea mixture is cold it’ll still be pliable; cut it into thick 1 to 2 inch strips.

3. Next heat up another fry pan over medium heat and add the canola oil and fry the chickpea cornbread pieces in batches until golden brown on all sides.

4. Transfer onto paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve this with a mint chutney, yogurt dipping sauce or ketchup as shown and serve as a yummy snack!
