Want an easy meal that doesn’t involve pasta? Then try these vegetable fritters. They’re crispy, flavoursome and packed with nutritious vegetables. 

Furthermore, they’re adaptable to whatever vegetables you happen to have in your fridge. Just make sure the mixture is stiff enough to fry. If it’s too sloppy, add some flour.
