Ingredients
Scale
Fritters
- 2 medium Onions, finely chopped
- 200g Feta Cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 2 large Eggs
Dipping Sauce
- 1/4 cup Sweet Chilli Sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
Optional
- Fresh Herbs (e.g., parsley or dill), chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by finely chopping the onions and herbs, and crumbling the feta cheese. This will ensure even distribution of flavors in your fritters.
- Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the chopped onions, crumbled feta, flour, and eggs. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Heat the Oil: In a frying pan, heat a generous amount of oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan for frying.
- Form the Fritters: Using your hands or a spoon, form small patties from the mixture and gently place them in the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry Until Golden: Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Prepare the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce together until well combined. This will be your delicious dipping sauce.
Notes
- Don’t Overmix: Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
- Temperature Check: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to get that perfect crispy exterior.
- Test a Mini Fritter: Fry a small spoonful first to check the seasoning and texture before making the full batch.
- Drain Well: Let the fritters drain on paper towels to remove excess oil for a healthier option.
- Serve Warm: These fritters are best enjoyed fresh and warm for maximum flavor!
