Ingredients:

4 carrots
240g
1/2 cup coriander leaves
8g
1 tsp ground cumin
3g
1 tsp dried coriander
5g
1 cup feta cheese
230g
2/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
80g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup sparkling water
120g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Finely grate the carrots.
- Chop the coriander leaves.
- Crumble the feta cheese if it isn't pre-crumbled.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, chopped coriander leaves, ground cumin, dried coriander, crumbled feta cheese, and flour.
- Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Prepare the Batter:
- Add the lightly beaten egg to the dry mixture.
- Gradually pour in the sparkling water, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Mix until you achieve a thick, spoonable batter. It should be moist but not too runny.
4. Fry the Fritters:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a little oil for frying.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot pan, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form fritters.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
5. Drain and Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve your fritters hot, garnished with extra coriander leaves if desired.

Tips:

- Grate the carrots finely: Finely grating the carrots helps them cook evenly and blend well with the other ingredients, ensuring a uniform texture.

- Use fresh coriander leaves: Fresh coriander leaves add a burst of flavor and brightness. Ensure they are washed and chopped finely before adding to the mixture.

- Mix the batter well: Thoroughly mixing the batter ensures that the ingredients are well-combined and the fritters hold together when cooking.

- Use sparkling water: Sparkling water helps create a lighter, fluffier texture in the fritters. Be sure to measure it carefully for the best results.

- Cook on medium heat: Cooking on medium heat allows the fritters to cook through evenly without burning the outside. Adjust the heat as necessary to achieve a golden-brown crust.

- Drain on paper towels: Once cooked, place the fritters on paper towels to drain excess oil, keeping them crispy and less greasy.

With a crispy exterior and a soft, flavorful interior, these carrot, cumin, and feta fritters are sure to become a favorite in your culinary repertoire. Serve them with a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an added touch of freshness. Enjoy your homemade fritters with friends and family!
