How to make vegan broccoli fritters?
I have kept this little less thick. You may make this little thicker by adding a little more flour. I have added little flour as I wanted more of broccolis in my fritters. Adding little more chickpeas flour binds the batter better.
First, cut out the florets from the stems. In a food processor, chop florets in to really small and make like cauliflower rice. Alternatively, you can use a cheese grater to make riced broccoli. Add a little salt and let it rest for good 5 - 7 minutes.
In the meanwhile, in a bowl take 2 tbsp flax meal and add 6 tbsp warm water. Mix well and let it rest for 5 - 7minutes to make flax eggs.
Then with the help of a muslin cloth squeeze out excess liquid out of it. Put it in a mixing bowl. Add chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder (or fresh minced garlic), onion flakes (or finely chopped onions), salt, pepper, paprika, chilies, some spring onions, and chopped cilantro leaves.
You can also add some grated carrots, sweet corns, potatoes, etc to the fritters.
Now mix all ingredients. If required add a tsp oil to the mixture. Mixture should be thick so that we can make patty like fritters.
Heat olive oil in a pan. Take out a small portion from the mixture and make a thin patty like shape. Place it on a hot pan. You can directly plop a heaped tbsp of batter on hot oil and flatten it by pressing lightly.
Cook fritters for good 3 minutes each side on medium-low flame. Otherwise, it will brown soon with uncooked broccoli inside. When done remove from pan and place on a paper napkin to get rid of excess oil.
Serve it with any of your favorite dip. I loved it with any spicy dips.
