🧂 재료

2 cups Dried black-eyed peas(soaked overnight)
1/2 Red onion(coarsely chopped)
1/2 Scotch bonnet pepper(or to taste, stemmed)
1 inch piece Ginger(peeled)
1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
1/4 - 1/2 cup Water(as needed for blending)
for frying Vegetable oil

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Drain the soaked black-eyed peas. In a blender or food processor, combine the peas, chopped red onion, scotch bonnet pepper, ginger, and 1/4 cup of water. Blend until a thick, smooth paste forms, adding more water a tablespoon at a time if needed to facilitate blending. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the batter is not too watery, or the fritters will not hold together.
2
Transfer the batter to a bowl and stir in the salt. For extra fluffy fritters, beat the batter vigorously with a whisk for about 2 minutes to incorporate air.
3
Heat about 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle and rise.
💡 전문가 팁: Maintain a consistent oil temperature for even cooking.
4
Using a tablespoon, carefully scoop portions of the batter and gently drop them into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot, for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed up.
5
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot as a snack or appetizer, optionally with a spicy dipping sauce.
💡 전문가 팁: Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
