It wasn’t until I started cooking more when I realized that the word “fritters” is simply a generic term for deep-fried dough or battered vegetables, fruit and meat. I made my vegetable fritters healthier by pan-frying them. I also added a touch of tumeric to give these fritters a hint of curry taste....
