Instructions

1. Lightly mash the green peas together with the cottage cheese in a mixing bowl.
2. Add the spring onions or garlic (if using) and mix well.
3. Stir in the egg and Greek yogurt. Gradually add the chickpea flour until you have a thick, malleable batter that holds its shape.
4. Shape the mixture into golf ball–sized portions and gently flatten them into fritters with your hands.
5. Brush each fritter with a little olive oil.
6. To fry: Cook in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat for about 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
7. To air-fry: Place fritters in the basket and cook at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
8. To bake: Arrange fritters on a lined baking sheet and bake at 190°C (375°F) for 15–18 minutes, flipping once.
9. Serve warm as a snack, side or with your favourite dip.
