Winter Vegetable Fritters

Step 1

Scrape the carrots. If using fresh water chestnuts, peel them. Trim any heavy core from the cabbage and peel the onion. Finely chop all these vegetables. If using a food processor for chopping, do each vegatable separately.

Step 2

Place the chopped vegetables along with all the remaining ingredients except the oil in a food processor and process for a couple of seconds, just until the ingredients are blended.

Step 3

Heat a frying pan or a wok and add the oil. When the oil is hot, spoon in three tablespoons of the batter to make a pancake about four inches wide. Fry two to three minutes until golden brown on one side. Turn and cook on the other side until crispy and golden. Remove from pan and keep warm. Repeat until all the batter is used. Cut pancakes into wedges and serve.
