I was inspired by this recipe after watching an episode of Sarah Graham’s Food Safari, an excellent series by the way. I love the quick and simple meals that she prepares, with the best quality and freshest South African ingredients, of course.
I am always searching for ideas for meals that would be suitable for my husband and kids, so it would have to be mild yet flavoursome. These fritters definitely fit the criteria. The kids can eat it on its own with some ketchup whilst I glam it up for the adults with sour cream cream and salsa.
The next time you are looking for a quick snack or light meal, give these fritters a try !
