In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, blended onions and peppers, yeast, and salt.
Add water and mix well until a smooth batter forms (not watery, not dough).
Cover the bowl and allow the batter to rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan.
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil.
Fry until golden brown on all sides. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve warm and enjoy.
Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to get a crispy texture.
Adjust the amount of sugar and pepper to your personal preference.
For best results, use fresh yeast.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
The puffs are best served fresh, but you can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature before frying.
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Frying gives the puffs their characteristic texture, but you can try baking them at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
What can I serve with these savoury puffs?
These puffs are great on their own as a snack, or you can serve them with a dipping sauce such as tomato sauce, chilli sauce, or a creamy dip.
How do I store leftover puffs?
Store leftover puffs in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best consumed within 1-2 days. You can reheat them in a toaster oven or microwave for a few seconds before serving.
Can I add other vegetables to the batter?
Yes, you can add finely chopped vegetables such as carrots, spinach, or bell peppers to the batter for added flavor and nutrition. Make sure to adjust the amount of water accordingly.
