Vegetable Fritters

Mom made some vegetable fritters today. She wanted to bring some over for Grandma, as it is one of Grandma's favourites.

Mom julienned the vegetables finely. She used a sweet potato, a yam, onions, celery, and spring onions. Mom said any vegetable would do, and she could use pumpkin or carrots or long beans if she wanted to.

For the batter, Mom used plain flour, mixed with some corn flour, rice flour and glutinous rice flour. The different types of flour bring different textures to the fritters. The flour is mixed together, and bound with an egg and water to the right consistency.

Batter

For flavouring, Mom used some finely chopped dried prawns, salt, pepper, fish sauce and a bit of curry powder.

Mom then spooned the batter into the wok and deep-fried the fritters till golden brown.

Deep-frying vegetable fritters

When done, Mom drained the fritters of excess oil.
