Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the sweetcorn and fry for 6 mins, tossing occasionally, until golden and starting to pop. Tip into a bowl and mix with the spring onion and red chilli, saving a little of both to garnish.
  2. Add the remaining fritter ingredients and stir to combine until you have a smooth, thick batter.
  3. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan over a medium-high heat and, working in batches, fry tablespoons of the batter for 1-2 mins on each side until golden and crisp. Set aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper while you cook the remaining fritters.
  4. For the smashed avocado, mash the avocado and lime together with a generous pinch of salt and pepper until you have a rough paste. Top each fritter with a little avocado and serve on a platter scattered with the lime zest, spring onion, chilli and coriander.

    • Tip

      Fry the fritters up to 2 days in advance and freeze or store in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven to piping hot before serving.
