Method
- Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Put the carrots and ginger into a square of muslin or a clean J-Cloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Put in a medium mixing bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients (except the oil, yogurt and lemon) and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tbsp sunflower oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over a medium-high heat and drop 8 heaped tablespoons of the fritter mixture into the pan. Press down with a spatula (you may need to cook fewer at a time if your pan is small). Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer, in a single layer, to a large baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Repeat with the remaining oil and fritter mixture.
- Bake for 10 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked through. Sprinkle with extra coriander leaves and salt, and serve with yogurt and lemon wedges.
