Spiced Carrot and Chickpea Fritters with Coconut Lime Yogurt Dip

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, these spiced carrot and chickpea fritters are a delicious and healthy snack or light meal. The creamy coconut lime yogurt dip adds a refreshing touch.

Yields: 12 fritters Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Coconut Lime Yogurt Dip:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chickpeas, carrots, cilantro, flour, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  2. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Using your hands or a spoon, form the mixture into small fritters.
  4. Carefully place the fritters in the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  6. While the fritters are cooking, prepare the yogurt dip. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
  7. Serve the fritters warm with the coconut lime yogurt dip.
