Cooking Tips

  • Make sure to remove the stems from the Swiss chard leaves, as they can be tough and fibrous.
  • You can use canned chickpeas for convenience, but make sure to rinse them well to remove any excess salt or brine.
  • If the fritter mixture is too wet, add a little more flour to achieve the right consistency.
  • For a gluten-free version, you can use chickpea flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour instead of regular flour.
  • Feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste preferences. You can add more cumin, coriander, or even some chili powder for extra heat.

Storage and Serving

  • Store the cooked fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place the fritters in a preheated oven or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
  • Serve the fritters as a main course with a side salad, or as a side dish with grilled vegetables or roasted chicken.
  • Top the fritters with a dollop of yogurt sauce and garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for added freshness and flavor.
