3cupsgrated carrot
2green onionssliced into thin rounds
1/2teaspoonsalt
1/4teaspoonpepper
2 to 4tablespoonsflour
1large egg
2tablespoonsgrapeseed or olive oilfor shallow fry
For the sauce
6ouncesplain yogurt
2teaspoonschopped fresh dill
1tablespoonlemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Mix together carrot, onion, salt, pepper, flour, and egg. If necessary, add more flour a little at a time, until a cohesive, but not overly wet batter is formed.
Heat oil in a frying pan with deep sides over medium-high heat. Once oil is heated through, carefully drop fritter batter by the 1/4-cup full into the pan, and fry on each side for approximately 4 minutes per side, turning down the heat as necessary to maintain oil temperature. Remove cooked fritters to a rack or paper-towel lined tray to drain and repeat until all batter is used.
To make the sauce, whisk together remaining ingredients. Serve with fritters.
Notes
If deep frying, fill a fryer to marked level, or add 2 inches of cooking oil to a deep nonreactive pan such as enameled cast iron.
