I think it might have been too high a vegetable to egg ratio. I had a large sweet potato and zucchinis vary so much in size. Can you provide a estimate (weight) for how much veg there should be? I loved the idea and the flavours and would love to have this work better. I tried these, and there was almost no egg holding them together.

OMG were they fabulous. Chana Masala was yummy too, but I could of eaten a whole plate of the fritters - if I could have gotten them away from my friend!

Unfortuately, this Blizzard of 2010 will surely have us snowed in at least four more days, and I just had to tell you that these Indian fritters are making my mouth water. I cook Indian food several times a month, but I am certain the moment we get out to the grocery store, I'm taking this ingredient list with me (to accompany your chana masala)! Thank you for sharing!!!!! Deb,

I squeezed as much liquid out of them as possible and it really helps them brown. I used a lot of paper towels to dry the mixture before adding the egg. I left out the zucchini because I don't like it and I only used two eggs. I think the third egg makes it too wet. For the dressing, I used greek yogurt and it was perfect. I kept the peas in the recipe because I think they need some green, but they kept rolling out of the fritters-unruly things, peas. These were absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned.

I just discovered the Danish Scanpan line that is a PFOA-free and yet aren't hurt by metal utensils. They even allow food to brown. They're a bit pricey but WOW, it may cause us to brag that we use non-stick cookware instead of ducking our heads and half whispering it when describing a recipe step. Check it out!

We served it with the curry-lime yogurt, mango-coconut chutney and chili-garlic paste. People told us it was their favorite dish (though we didn't win overall).

Made them again this past weekend. They are incredibly delicious and we luuuuuurve them (that's even beyond love, doncha know :-). We feel virtuous for eating veggies, too! Thanks for this recipe - it is going into regular rotation at our house! I made these vegetable fritters about 2 weeks ago and my husband and I are *hooked*. Made them again this past weekend.
