These crispy spiced veggie bites are a delightful snack or appetizer, perfect for any occasion.
In a mixing bowl, combine the gram flour, cumin seeds, cayenne pepper, garlic, salt, baking powder, and ajwain seeds.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of the spices.
Gradually add water to the dry mixture while whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Adding water slowly prevents lumps in the batter.
Fold in the shredded carrot, sliced onion, and chopped spinach into the batter.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the batter for consistent frying.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or heavy saucepan to 350°F.
Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for optimal frying.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Draining on paper towels removes excess oil, keeping the fritters crispy.
Serve the fritters on a platter with chutney on the side for dipping.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
