Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine green peas in the food processor and roughly crush them. Do not over blend but should be crushed texture.
  • Spoon it out in a mixing bowl and add red bell pepper, garlic powder, cumin powder, cayenne pepper and salt. Mix it with a spoon.
  • Add vegan cheddar cheese, vegan mozzarella cheese and nutritional yeast to it. Mix it well.
  • Now, fold in cauli crunch (cauliflower crumbs) into it and mix well with your hands.
  • Heat a non stick pan at high flame and grease it with a cooking spray. Then, bring it to medium heat. Quickly take about 2 tbsp of the batter between your palms and shape a round flat thin fritter. Place it directly on the warm pan. (The thinner the fritters the crispy they will be). Depending on the size of your pan and how many fritters can fit in one batch, shape more fritters between palms. Place them directly in the warm pan.
  • Cook them until brown from the bottom and a bit firm. Gently flip them with a flat spatula to the other side and let them cook again. Gently scoop them with the flat spatula from the pan and place them on the serving plate.
  • Repeat the above steps for the rest of the batter. Enjoy immediately with ketchup or ranch.

Notes

  • If using frozen green peas make sure to defrost them and dap with kitchen towel to absorb extra moisture. 
  • Once the pan is hot make sure to quickly shape the fritters and place them directly on it. 
  • Depending on the size of your pan you can cook 4-5 fritters at a time.
  • Red bell pepper should be finely chopped or else they might come in the way of shaping the fritters. 
  • If while shaping green pea fritters you feel that the batter is drying up then you may grease your palms while shaping. 
  • Make sure to grease your pan for every new batch of fritters.
  • While shaping do not worry about its shape. Try to make them a bit thinner for a crispy exterior texture.
  • This recipe makes 15 fritters and the serving size is 3 per person.
  • These taste best when served immediately. If kept for long these fritters soften.
