Tips and Tricks
- To make fritters crispy – to make these fritters crispy make sure to salt the grated veggies. Let them sit for 15 minutes until they release water and look soft and wilted. Squeeze out any extra water as well. The less moisture there is, the less soggy the fritters are going to be. Also, add cornflour. If you’re out of cornflour, add either rice flour or arrowroot.
- Leftover fritter mixture– Ideally, the mixture should be cooked right away. Any leftovers can be refrigerated for 2 days. If the mixture releases water, add more flour accordingly.
