I made these fritters yesterday as I thought they would make a good snack for the entire family, my toddler included. Though the word fritter may be a misnomer as I did not deep fry them, rather just cooked them in a non stick pan similar to how one would make pikelets... So I guess it is a cross between a pikelet and fritter though much healthier.
I used one zucchini and one carrot finely grated, along with two heaped serving spoons of chick pea flour and one level serving spoon of rice flour. I also added two teaspoons of olive oil, a pinch of turmeric and about half a teaspoon of salt. I did not add any other spices as I wanted my baby to eat these as well. But if you are only cooking these for adults, you can also add other things like cumin, green chilies or red chilli powder, grated ginger, minced garlic and finely chopped coriander.
Mix with a about half a cup of water, adding the water slowly to ensure you get the right consistency - it should be a thick batter. Allow to stand for 10 minutes
To cook, heat a non stick frying pan, and drop about a table spoon of the batter to make the fritters/ pikelets. I made small ones, so was able to fit about 7-8 in each batch, but you can make big ones if you prefer. Once little holes appear in the batter( similar to when you make pancakes) turn the pikelets and cook the other side, pressing down with the back of a spatula to ensure good contact and that the fritters are cooked through.
Eat warm, and to spice up ( if you made the baby proof version) you can use condiments of your choice, we elected for hot sauce :)
