Yam and Jalapeño Vegetable Fritters

Spiced Yam, Carrot, Jalapeño, Scallion, and Garlic Fritters

• 1.5 Cup Peeled, Grated Yam
• 1 Peeled, Grated Carrot
• 2 Large Green Onions, Julienne
• 1 Jalapeño, De-seeded and Chopped
• 1 Clove Garlic, Chopped Fine

Directions:
1. Add yam, carrot, jalapeño, scallion, garlic, and salt to a medium mixing bowl.
2. Allow the salt to pull the moisture from the veggies for 10 minutes, then move ingredients into a clean towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
3. Move ingredients back to bowl, and add flour, beaten eggs, spices, and a large pinch of salt. Stir with a fork until combined.
4. Heat a small layer of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
5. Using a spoon, scoop small amounts (size of a silver dollar) of fritter mixture into pan. You should be able to make 6-8 fritters at one time.
6. Once fritters are golden brown on one side, flip and cook on remaining side.
7. Serve hot with chilled cucumber raita and fresh herbs.
