Helpful Tips and Tricks
- After chopping the tomatoes, use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out excess moisture. This helps prevent the fritter batter from becoming too wet, ensuring a crispier texture.
- Avoid high heat to prevent the fritters from burning while ensuring they cook through evenly. A medium heat setting allows them to develop a golden-brown crust without overcooking.
- Almond flour absorbs moisture differently than regular flour. If the batter seems too wet, add more almond flour to achieve a thicker consistency. This ensures the fritters hold their shape while frying.
- Fry the fritters in batches, leaving enough space between them in the pan. Add more oil for each batch.
- Experiment with Flavors. Add fresh herbs or spices like fresh mint, basil, paprika, or cumin to the batter for an extra flavor boost. You can also add grated cheese for added richness.
