Ingredients

1 medium sweet potato grated
1/2 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup black beans canned (if using dry- then cook prior to using)
1/2 green pepper diced
1 tsp cumin powder
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 tbsp coriander fresh chopped
1 tsp cayenne powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp asafoetida (hing)
3/4 cup water
2 cup chickpea flour
Oil for cooking (I use grapeseed oil)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a bowl, toss together all ingredients minus water. Once tossed, stir in water until a thick batter forms. May add more water as needed.
In a large pan, heat a thin layer of oil until shimmering (1-2 tbsp depending on pan size) on medium heat. Scoop ⅓ cup batter into the pan for each fritter. I was able to fit 4-5 fritters.
Flatten each with a spatula, then fry, flipping once, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Repeat with the remaining batter until all of the fritters are fried.
Serve immediately with your favourite dipping sauce. ENJOY!
