- 2 cups grated kūmara
- 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- Oil, for frying
- 1 clove garlic, crushed

- 3/4 cup thick mayo*

Method
- 1For the fritters combine the cooked quinoa, grated kūmara, ginger, spring onion and chickpea flour and toss together to disperse the flour evenly.
