Best 5 Iranian Herb Fritters From Simple Recipes

IRANIAN HERB AND WALNUT FRITTATA

Steps:

• Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the yogurt, rose water, and salt and pepper and beat well. Add the herbs and walnuts, stir together and let sit for 30 minutes, stirring every so often.
• Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from the heat and add to the eggs. Stir together.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and swirl to coat evenly. Heat over medium-high heat until a drop of egg sizzles and sets within seconds of adding it to the pan. Stir the frittata mixture and add it to the pan, scraping in every last bit with a rubber spatula. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Once a few layers of egg have cooked during the first couple of minutes of cooking, turn the heat down to low, cover the pan and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for 1 to 3 minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes and for up to 15. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges and serve hot, warm, at room temperature

HERB FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix together flours, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add egg yolk and oil. Beat egg yolk and oil together, add sparkling water and mix in flour. Whisk until smooth. Cover with plastic and let sit for 2 hours.
• Beat egg white to stiff but not dry peaks and fold into batter. Fold in finely chopped herbs and greens.
• Pour oil into a wok or wide saucepan to a depth of 3 inches and heat over medium-high heat to 360 to 375 degrees. Set up a sheet pan with a rack on it next to pan. Cover rack with a few layers of paper towels. Have a spider or deep fry skimmer handy for removing fritters from oil.
• . Scoop up the batter by the tablespoon and carefully drop into the hot oil. You should be able to fry about 5 at a time. After a few seconds flip the fritters over, then fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes, flipping over again halfway through. Remove from oil with a spider or deep-fry skimmer and drain on the towel-covered rack. Allow to cool slightly, and serve.

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients, apart from the oil, in a large bowl with 1/2 tsp of salt. Mix well to combine and set aside.
• Put 2 tbsp of the oil into a large nonstick pan and place over medium-high heat. Once hot, add ladles of batter to the pan. Do 4 fritters at a time, if you can-you want each of them to be about 5 inches/12cm wide-otherwise just do 2 or 3 at a time. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, until crisp and golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside while you continue with the remaining batter and oil.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

HERB & SPICE PANEER FRITTERS

Steps:

• Toast the cumin seeds in a large, non-stick frying pan for about 1 min, shaking the pan until a shade darker, taking care not to burn. Remove from the heat and place the seeds in a mixing bowl.
• Add everything else, except the oil, lemon and chilli sauce, to the bowl. Season well and mix very thoroughly. Using wet hands, take walnut-size handfuls of the mixture, then press into flat little cakes, like fish cakes or patties. They can now be chilled until ready to cook, or cooked straight away.
• Reheat the pan over a medium flame and add enough oil to cover the base of the pan. When hot, add the fritters, cook until golden underneath, then turn over and cook until golden all over. Be careful as they may splutter slightly. Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm as you cook batches. Serve with lemon wedges and sweet chilli sauce.
