    1 Place eggs and milk in a large mixing bowl and whisk until well combined. Sift flour into egg mixture, whisking to remove lumps.

    2 Add chickpeas, vegetables and herbs. Mix well.

    3 Spray a large frying pan with oil and place over a medium heat. Scoop ¼-cupfuls of batter into pan (to make 4 fritters). Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 12 fritters. Serve warm.

      These are very tasty – I used besan (chickpea) flour and baking powder to keep it gluten-free and that worked very well. All other measurements were as listed, but the 1/4 cup dollops yielded 24 rather than 12 fritters. There was such a lot of corn, carrot and chickpeas that I felt an extra egg may have helped keep the fritters together better when flipped.
