Aubergine Fritters
Aubergine Fritters are one of those foods that are really simple but so satisfying. Paired with a mint raita or sweet and spicy tomato chutney, they make a fantastic starter, snack or part of an Indian feast.
Golden chickpea batter on the outside, soft and creamy inside. These fritters could even convert those who don’t usually like aubergine, but the recipe works with courgette too.
