Chilli and coriander corn fritters

These slightly spicy and sweet fritters are the perfect base for fried or poached eggs. I usually add some guacamole (or just lemony avocado mash) and a little crème fraiche on the side to make it a fresh and delicious brunch.

Chilli and coriander corn fritters (For 2)

  • 100 grams sweetcorn kernels (frozen or canned)
  • 1 spring onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 a chilli, finely chopped
  • A small handful of coriander, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 20 grams of plain flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 20 ml milk
  • A pinch of salt and pepper
  • Butter (for frying)

Method

  1. Put all of the ingredients (except the butter) in a bowl and mix well till combined.
  2. Pop the butter in a frying pan over a medium to high heat. When its melted, add the sweetcorn mixture to the pan – I normally use 2 tablespoons to make a fritter. In a couple of minutes, the bottom should be browned. Flip the fritter and cook for a further couple of minutes.
  3. Repeat with the rest of the mixture (and keep the cooked fritters warm while you do so).
  4. Serve with eggs and avocado mash.
