Beetroot and Cumin Fritters With Horseradish and Dill Yoghurt
Lee Watson · Peace & Parsnips
These little fritters are bursting at the seams with flavours, and the herbaceous horseradish yoghurt tops things off very nicely. A punchy zesty sauce is perfect with any fried food, lighting the palate up. The sweet earthiness of the beetroot and the fragrance of cumin were, very simply, made for each other. I like to use any green peas or beans for this, but the edamame probably have the edge due to their nice crunchy texture, which adds an almost nutty bite to the fritters. Use any flour you like but I prefer to keep them gluten free. Gram (chickpea) flour would work well.
