Ingredients

1 kg sweet potato
1 red onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 x 400 g tin of chickpeas rinsed and drained (280 g net weight)
Few leaves of chopped coriander
1 tsp salt
3 tsp tamari
2 tsp ground cumin
Generous pinch of black pepper
½ red chilli chopped finely
½ lemon juiced
150 g peas
3 tbsp sieved gram flour
1 pinch of salt for coating
1 pinch of black pepper for coating
50 ml water for coating
1 ½ tbsp oil optional

Instructions

Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan).
Chop the sweet potatoes into small chunks and place them on a baking tray.
Roast for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
Prepare the Fritter Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, finely chop the garlic, red onion, red chilli, and coriander.
Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, mash them together with the chickpeas, 1 tsp of salt, tamari, ground cumin, a generous pinch of black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.
Incorporate Peas:
Add the peas to the mixture and gently mix through until evenly distributed.
Shape the Fritters:
Flatten out the mixture and cut into desired shapes. A 7-8 cm scone cutter works well for this.
Prepare the Coating:
In a separate bowl, mix the sieved gram flour with a generous pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and water to create a coating mixture.
Cook the Fritters:
Heat a non-stick pan over high heat. Once hot, reduce to medium-high heat.
Coat each fritter in the gram flour mixture and fry in the pan until golden, about 3 minutes per side.
Repeat until all fritters are cooked.
Serve:
Allow the fritters to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with hummus or your preferred dipping sauce!
