Preparation
Put the grated carrot and beetroot in a mixing bowl with the ginger, mustard, flour and seasoning, and stir until everything is thoroughly combined.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over low heat. Once hot, put a spoonful of the mixture in the pan, and lightly press it down with the back of a fork, forming a patty. Add as many patties to the pan as you can fit.
Cook for 5 minutes without moving them, then carefully flip them over and cook the other side for 5 minutes.
Once cooked, put them on a plate lined with kitchen roll - this will help to absorb any excess oil.
Continue this process until you’ve used all of the beetroot mixtures, adding more oil if needed. You should get around 18 fritters.
For the yoghurt dip, simply combine the yoghurt, garlic, oil, lemon juice and mint.
Serve the fritters warm, with a healthy spoonful of the dip.
Tips
To store: We recommend eating these straight away so they keep their crunch, but it is possible to store them for later. Once they’re cool, just put them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days.garlic
