Fritter Mixture
Preparation and Cooking
1. Prepare the Malanga
Peel and grate the malanga using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated malanga in a large mixing bowl.
2. Mix the Ingredients
Add the all-purpose flour, chopped scallions, minced garlic, chopped parsley, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the grated malanga. Mix well.
3. Add Water
Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until you achieve a thick batter that holds together.
4. Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
5. Fry the Fritters
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
6. Drain and Serve
Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with a dipping sauce or as a snack.
