Total time: 40 min
Yield: 12 fritters
Cuisine: Turkish
Ingredients: 2 large leeks, cleaned and thinly sliced; 2 medium carrots, grated; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 2 eggs; 1/4 cup milk; 1 teaspoon cumin; 1/2 teaspoon paprika; Salt and pepper to taste; Olive oil for frying; Greek yogurt or sour cream for serving; Fresh dill or parsley for garnish

Instructions

Begin by slicing the leeks thinly and grating the carrots. Ensure the leeks are well cleaned to remove any grit or dirt that may be trapped between the layers.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until a smooth batter forms. The batter should have a thick, pancake-like consistency.
Add the sliced leeks and grated carrots to the batter. Gently fold everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the batter.
In a large skillet, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, spoon the vegetable batter into the skillet to form fritters. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon to create a round shape.
Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve the fritters warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
These Leek and Carrot Fritters are best enjoyed fresh and warm, straight from the skillet. The contrast of the crispy exterior and the tender, flavorful interior is truly a delight for the taste buds. Share these fritters with loved ones and savor the Turkish-inspired goodness together!
