Crisp-edged, golden and packed with juicy sweetcorn, these fritters are a cheerful way to take Hot Curry Powder beyond the usual curry pot. The corn’s sweetness is a brilliant match for the chilli warmth, especially with a spoonful of fruity mango chutney on the side.

Ingredients

• 340g tin sweetcorn, drained very well
• 100g self-raising flour
• 1½ tbsp Hot Curry Powder
• ½ tsp fine salt
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 3 tbsp milk
• 3 spring onions, finely sliced
• Small handful fresh coriander, chopped
• 3–4 tbsp vegetable oil, for shallow frying
• Mango chutney, lime wedges and salad, to serve

Instructions

1. Tip two-thirds of the sweetcorn into a bowl and crush roughly with a potato masher or fork. Stir in the remaining whole kernels.
2. Add the flour, Hot Curry Powder and salt. Stir in the eggs and milk to make a thick, scoopable batter, then fold through the spring onions and coriander.
3. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.
4. Drop heaped tablespoons of batter into the pan and flatten slightly. Fry in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until deeply golden and cooked through.
5. Transfer to a tray lined with kitchen paper and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining fritters.
6. Serve hot with mango chutney, lime wedges and a fresh coriander salad.

Timings

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 20 minutes | Makes: 10–12 fritters

Serving Suggestions

Ideal for brunch, lunchboxes or a relaxed sharing plate. Add avocado and a poached egg for a fuller meal, or make smaller fritters for party bites.

Why This Recipe Works

Crushing some of the corn helps bind the batter while leaving plenty of whole kernels for juicy texture. The natural sweetness softens the blend’s heat without dulling its flavour.

Allergy Notes

Contains gluten, egg and milk. Use suitable self-raising flour and dairy-free milk if needed; an egg replacement may alter the texture.
