FRITTERS Meaning and
Definition
-
Fritters are a type of fried food consisting of pieces of meat, vegetables, fruits, or other ingredients bound together with a batter or dough. They are typically prepared by coating the ingredient in a flour-based mixture before deep-frying it until it becomes crisp and golden brown. The coating serves to provide a crunchy texture and add flavor.
Fritters are known for their versatility and can be made with a wide range of ingredients depending on regional cuisines and personal preferences. Meats such as chicken, fish, or pork can be cut into small pieces or shredded and mixed with spices before being battered and fried. Vegetables like corn, zucchini, or potatoes can be grated, diced, or thinly sliced before being incorporated into the batter. Fruits such as apples or bananas can also be sliced and covered in a sweet batter for sweet fritters.
Fritters are often enjoyed as appetizers, snacks, or side dishes in various cuisines around the world. They can be served hot or cold, and are commonly accompanied by a dipping sauce such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or a spicy chutney. The result is a crispy, flavorful treat that combines the richness of the fried exterior with the tenderness and juiciness of the ingredient within.
