Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chickpea flour — Ensure that the chickpea flour is fresh and free from lumps for a smooth batter consistency.
- Ground beef or lamb — Use lean ground meat for a healthier option, and make sure it is well-seasoned for maximum flavor.
- Fresh herbs — Chop the dill and parsley finely to evenly distribute their flavors throughout the fritters.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the batter.
- Serve the fritters with a side of yogurt or sour cream for a creamy and tangy contrast.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking.
- If you prefer a lighter version, you can bake the fritters in the oven instead of deep-frying them.
- Leftover fritters can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster oven for a quick and delicious snack.
Serving advice
Serve the Bashkir-style Odading as a main course accompanied by a fresh salad or steamed vegetables. Alternatively, they can be served as an appetizer with a dipping sauce made from yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice.
Presentation advice
