Ingredients
- 200g tinned sweetcorn
- 40g plain flour
- ¼ tsp chilli powder
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 3 large free-range eggs, 1 of them lightly beaten
- Handful fresh coriander, chopped, plus extra leaves to garnish
- Grated zest ½ lime, plus 2 lime wedges to serve and 1 to squeeze
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced (squeeze over lime juice to prevent browning)
For the chutney
- 30g fresh mint leaves
- 15g fresh coriander leaves
- 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
- 1 small green chilli
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp sugar
- Juice 1 lime
- 200g tinned sweetcorn
- 40g plain flour
- ¼ tsp chilli powder
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 3 large free-range eggs, 1 of them lightly beaten
- Handful fresh coriander, chopped, plus extra leaves to garnish
- Grated zest ½ lime, plus 2 lime wedges to serve and 1 to squeeze
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced (squeeze over lime juice to prevent browning)
Method
- Whizz all the chutney ingredients with 2 tbsp water in a food processor until smooth, then transfer to a bowl.
- Clean the processor, then whizz half the sweetcorn to a coarse paste. Put in a large bowl, then add the rest of the sweetcorn with the flour, chilli powder, cumin, the beaten egg, chopped coriander, lime zest and a good pinch of salt. Mix to a batter.
- Heat a little oil in a large frying pan, then spoon in the batter to form 4 circles, well spaced. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side on a low-medium heat until golden. Set aside and keep warm. Fry the whole eggs in the same pan with a little oil.
- Divide the fritters between 2 plates, then serve with a dollop of chutney, half the sliced avocado, 1 fried egg and a few coriander leaves.
