Prepare the Vegetables:
Peel and grate the fresh carrots and transfer them into a large bowl.
Chop the spring onions and add them to the bowl.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and transfer them to the bowl.
Peel and grate the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes into a kitchen cloth or nut milk bag, add a pinch of salt, mix, and let it set for a few minutes to remove excess water. Squeeze out the excess water and add the grated potatoes to the bowl with the other vegetables.
Add another pinch of salt and some black pepper to the vegetables. Mix well and set aside.
Prepare the Chickpea Flour Mixture:
In a separate bowl, combine the chickpea flour and plant-based milk. Mix until smooth.
Crumble the firm tofu into the chickpea mixture and combine. You should get a very thick consistency.
Combine Mixtures:
Add the chickpea and tofu mixture to the bowl with the vegetables. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Cook the Fritters:
Heat some olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Take small portions of the mixture and form them into patties. Place the patties in the hot pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
