Spicy South African fritters with crispy chickpea flour batter.
I grew up with a lot of traditional South African dishes including samosas and onion fritters (my Gran makes the best onion fritters. I need to dig out the old recipe book and attempt them soon). What stood out was the chilli bite, I absolutely loved them and this is my version of the traditional daltjie.
A daltjie is a Cape Malay version of the Indian bhaji. It is usually served at the breaking of the fast in Ramadan but can be eaten as a snack at any time. They are a true comfort food and pair very well with some Mrs Balls Chutney or my mint raita.
