Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large leeks sliced
  • 60 g fresh herbs (eg coriander, parsley, thyme, mint) finely chopped
  • 120 g gram flour sifted
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon chilli powder optional
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • salt and pepper to taste, omit salt for babies
  • 160 ml water

For the tahini yoghurt dressing

  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons dairy free yoghurt
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Sauté the two chopped leeks until soft.
  • Transfer to a mixing bowl and add 60g chopped mixed herbs, 120g sifted gram (chickpea) flour, ½ tsp baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon ground coriander, ½ teaspoon chilli powder if using and a little salt and pepper (omit salt for babies). Mix well.
  • Pour in 160ml cold water and stir well.
  • Wipe your frying pan clean and heat a further tablespoon olive oil. Add two or three spoonfuls of batter to the pan and flatten. This will depend on the size of your pan - don't overfill it or you'll find it hard to turn the fritters over. Cook over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes then carefully turn over with a rubber spatula to cook the other side. Keep warm in a low oven while you cook the rest of the batter

To make the tahini dressing

  • Beat together 3 tablespoon tahini, 2 tablespoon dairy free yoghurt and 1 tablespoon water. Stir through 1 tablespoon chopped parsley and a pinch of salt.
