Going to enjoy making these for a different luncheon meal, & it’s always nice for a lighter meal too!

I love a fritter and these look delicious. I often order corn/veggie fritters when I’m out with a salad and their special chutney. Yum.

Nice ingredients. Don’t think my kids would like it with dried mint, but that’s easy to omit

  It’s the same as chickpea flour. Woolworths sells it (by all the flours) and so does Coles (Indian Isle), Indian shops and Harris Farm sell it too.
