Why did the fruit or vegetables need to be well-drained before being mixed into the fritter batter?


To minimize extra moisture in the fritter batter. When the fritters are fried, the moisture is drawn toward the surface of the food. Oil is transferred into the food through the pores from which the water escaped. The product becomes larger and more porous from the water being driven out of the food by the frying heat.
