How to Make Eggless Tropical Fruit Fritters

My passion for cooking leads me to travel to different places, eat authentic local dishes, and inspire everybody to cook amazing food!

What Are Fritters?

Fritter refers to any fried and battered fruit, meat, seafood, or vegetable. The taste of this dish may be either sweet or savory. The batter I used for this recipe is my four-ingredient crispy batter recipe, but I needed to replace the salt with sugar to complement the sweetness of the fruit. This eggless tropical fruit fritters recipe has a crispy outside and is a bit mushy with a bite inside. Enjoy it as a dessert or a snack.
