Ingredients
  

For the Fritters

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Grate the carrots finely and mince the garlic. Combine them with chopped coriander in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Beat the egg in a small bowl and pour it into the carrot mixture, stirring to bind.
  4. Gently fold in the dry mixture until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Mix the hummus, yogurt, and lemon juice in a small bowl to prepare the dip.
  7. Heat olive oil in a skillet until hot enough for frying.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until golden.
  9. Flip the fritters and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through.
  10. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  11. Serve warm with the dip on the side.
