Step 1
Mix chickpea flour, grated zucchini and carrot, scallions, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Add salt, pepper, and 0.5 cup water until batter is thick but pourable.
Step 2
Heat 2 inches oil in a heavy skillet to 350°F, or until a drop of batter sizzles immediately on contact.
Step 3
Drop 2-tbsp spoonfuls of batter into oil in batches — don't crowd the pan. Fry 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4
Transfer fritters to a paper-towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 5
Whisk lime juice, minced chili, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl to make a dipping sauce.
Step 6
Serve fritters hot with chili-lime dipping sauce on the side.
