Crispy Egg Fritters (Ejjeh)

These crispy egg fritters are perfectly deep-fried to perfection. Soft, airy, and fluffy on the inside, this is my twist on a Syrian classic.

Instructions

  • Blitz the carrots, onion, and garlic in your food processor until they're cut into little pieces. Chop the parsley. Set aside.
  • Beat the eggs, flour, and spices with an electric whisk until light and frothy. 
  • Add in the parsley and chopped vegetables and mix until fully incorporated.
