Spiced Bean and Beetroot Fritters

1In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beans, finely chopped capsicum (1 medium), and grated beetroot (1 medium). Mash the beans slightly with a fork to create a chunky mixture.

2Add the gram flour to the vegetable mixture, along with cumin seeds (1 teaspoon), coriander powder (1 teaspoon), turmeric powder (½ teaspoon), red chili powder (½ teaspoon), and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and form a thick batter.

3Heat oil (2 tablespoons) in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, take a spoonful of the batter and carefully drop it into the oil (2 tablespoons), flattening it slightly to form fritters.

4Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil (2 tablespoons).

5Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with your favorite chutney or sauce.
