Crispy Broccoli Fritters

300g brocolli, cooked

1/3 cup chickpea flour

2 tbs cornflour

2 tsp chilli flakes

½ tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1¼ tsp salt

1/3 cup water

1 cup Cheddar cheese grated

3 tbs oil for frying

Yogurt Dip

¼ cup Greek yogurt

1 – 2 tsp lemon juice

salt

Method 

Bring some water to the boil, and add the broccoli. Cook until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Use your discretion with the time. Alternatively, you could cook the broccoli in the microwave oven for 7 minutes. 

Drain the water, and use a fork to mash the broccoli. Set aside

In a large bowl, mix the chickpea flour, cornflour, chilli flakes, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and water. You will have a thick batter. 

Add the broccoli and cheese to the batter. Mix well. 

Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large pan. Shape a tablespoon of the mixture into balls. Flatten on your palms, and fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides

Serve with the yogurt dip. 

Yoghurt dip: Mix some lemon juice into the yoghurt. Adjust according to your taste. Season with salt and serve.
