Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups ripe tomatoes, chopped Make sure your tomatoes are not too watery.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour For a gluten-free option, substitute with chickpea flour.
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust according to preference.
  • as needed for frying Oil Use enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, finely chopped onions, and fresh parsley.
  2. Sprinkle in the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until it forms a sticky batter.
  3. In a large skillet, pour in enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Warm the oil over medium heat until it’s hot but not smoking.
Cooking
  1. Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the batter and gently drop them into the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in batches if necessary.
  2. Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
  3. Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki or garlic yogurt sauce.

Notes

Leftover fritters can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. Reheat in an oven preheated to 350°F for about 10-15 minutes.
