🔪 Instructions

1. Prep the Veggies

  • Slice or finely chop bell peppers and onion.

  • Pat them dry with a paper towel (especially if they’re juicy) to help keep the batter crisp.

2. Make the Batter

  • In a bowl, mix flour, egg (if using), garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and herbs.

  • Gradually add water until you get a thick, scoopable batter—like pancake batter.

  • Fold in the chopped peppers and onions.

3. Fry ‘Em Up

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  • Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan and flatten slightly.

  • Fry 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.

  • Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. Serve & Enjoy

  • Serve hot with a yogurt dip, tzatziki, or a spicy aioli.

  • Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice.

🌟 Tips

  • Want a smoky flavor? Char the peppers first before chopping!

  • For an Indian-style twist, use chickpea flour + cumin + green chilies.

  • Make it vegan: skip the egg and use a splash more water or a flax egg (1 tbsp flax + 2.5 tbsp water).
