• 1 large garlic clove, peeled
and chopped
• 50g gram flour
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

patty shapes using your hands.
The mixture should make around
12 fritters.
4. Heat some coconut oil in a

for 5-10 minutes on each side
until golden on the outside and
cooked through.
5. Repeat until all the fritters
are cooked
