Celery leaf fritters are a dish born out of curiosity. My colleague Barbara and I were talking about a lady who buys celery leaves specifically to make this recipe, but unfortunately, we were never able to get the recipe from her. So, inspired by initiative, I decided to try making these fritters my own way. The result? Absolutely delicious—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and with fantastic flavor!
