Enjoy the perfect blend of sweet and earthy flavours with our Carrot & Parsnip Bhajis. These crispy fritters are made from grated carrots and parsnips, mixed with aromatic spices and flour, then deep-fried to golden perfection. A tasty starter or snack bursting with vibrant colours and delicious taste!

Method

1. Add the carrots, parsnips, gram flour, cumin, curry powder, ground coriander and salt into a large bowl and mix with your hands to release some of the moisture.
2. Add the eggs and mix well. The mixture should be like a thick batter. Almost like an uncooked carrot cake batter.
3. Fill a deep-fat fryer or a large, deep, heavy-bottomed pan two-thirds full with the oil.
4. Heat to 150C (a drop of batter should sizzle and float to the top.) (CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
5. Working in batches, drop heaped teaspoons of the batter into the oil and cook for 3–4 minutes, turning the bhajis all the time so they are an even golden colour.
6. Drain on kitchen paper while you cook the rest.
