Ingredients
  

Fritter Base
  • 1 cup semolina Best if aged or left overnight in the pantry.
  • 1 cup homemade curd Yogurt works too. Full-fat gives a richer taste.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Sea salt adds a bit of crunch.
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder Provides colour and a bit of zing.
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder Adds extra flavour.
  • 2 pieces green chillies Finely chopped; adjust according to spice preference.
  • a handful chopped coriander Can substitute with cilantro.
  • for frying oil Sunflower oil has a high smoking point.
  • a pinch baking powder Optional for fluffiness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the semolina, curd, salt, turmeric, cumin, green chillies, and coriander. Mix it until smooth without lumps.
  2. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to let the semolina plump up.
Cooking
  1. In a non-stick frying pan, heat about half an inch of oil over medium heat.
  2. Using a tablespoon, scoop the batter and gently drop it into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  3. Fry the fritters until they are golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Once golden, remove the fritters from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
