👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
In a large bowl, combine millet flour, finely chopped okra, onion, garlic, grated ginger, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt.
- 2
Gradually add water, mixing until a thick, cohesive dough forms. The consistency should be firm enough to shape but not too dry.
- 3
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 2-3 inches deep.
- 4
Once the oil is hot (a drop of dough should sizzle immediately), carefully drop spoonfuls of the millet and okra mixture into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- 5
Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- 6
Remove the fritters from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 7
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as a spicy peanut sauce or a tomato-based relish.
💡 Profitipps
