Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of flavor, add a pinch of ground cumin or coriander to the batter.
• To make the fritters even crispier, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the batter.
• Serve the fritters immediately after frying to maintain their crispiness.
• Experiment with different dipping sauces such as sriracha mayo or peanut sauce for a unique twist.
