Vegetable Fritters - Kids Recipes

These easy cauliflower and broccoli fritters from Lisa Allen could be enjoyed as a standalone snack (dunked into her suggested curry mayo), or as part of a more substantial dish. The same batter could be used to coat other ingredients, too, try it with other crunchy vegetables, or perhaps seafood such as prawns and squid.
