Just 4 ingredients, each one providing different health benefits, with the bonus of hidden vegetables. These fritters are a very easy way to gain some Vitamin A, fibre and iron. We also use turmeric for its host of potential health benefits.
This recipe was inspired by our house guests this weekend. Mum wanted ideas for after school snacks – in particular for that dash in-between school and clubs where you need something satisfying to keep them going until dinner – and Dad has a long-standing passion for mango chutney! These work hot or cold – for lunch, as a side dish, in packed lunches and as a snack. Why not double the recipe and freeze some?

Instructions
- Grate the carrots finely, and mix with the other ingredients in a bowl. Add 1-2 tablespoons water to make a very stiff paste.
- Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat, and add spray oil to lightly cover the base. Take heaped spoonfuls of mixture and form into patties. Depending on the size of your pan, you may be able to fit 5-6 fritters in each batch.
- Cook until lightly browned and turn over. Cook until the second side is browned and keep warm whilst you back the remaining batch.
- Serve hot or cold, with your favourite chutney or your favourite dairy-free yoghurt.
