Ingredients

  • 1 Courgette About 300 gram ( 10.5oz)
  • 150 gram Sweetcorn kernels About 5.3 oz, Frozen, tinned or fresh ( see details in note )
  • 100 gram Plain flour
  • 2 Eggs
  • ¼ tsp Baking powder

  • 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp Greek yoghurt
  • 1 Chili pepper Finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Lime juice Or lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Grated garlic
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the batter

  • First, grate the courgette with a grater or food processor. Sprinkle a pinch of salt in the grated courgette and set it aside for 5 minutes, then squeeze the water out.
  • Place the grated courgette, sweetcorn, eggs, plain flour, spring onions, garlic, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Combine everything well until it form a thick batter and set it aside.

Fry the fritters

  • Heat the large non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat, drizzle 2 tbsp of oil.
  • Spoon in one heap tablespoon ( about 2 tbsp ) of courgette batter to the pan, gently press and flatten it with a spoon. Add another scoop and leave enough space between each fritters.
  • Pan fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes until crispy golden then filp and fry another side.
  • Remove from pan and serve immediately on its own or serve with a dipping sauce.

Make Dipping Sauce

  • To make a chilli yoghurt sauce, add the dipping sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl and combine everything well. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • If the batter is too thick to combine, you can add a splash of water or milk.
  • Sweetcorns - you can either use frozen, fresh, or tinned sweetcorn kernels. Defrost and drain the water out before adding in the batter mix.  
  •  You can add other shredded vegetables like carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, onions, etc.
  • Can also add an extra protein like bacon, sausage, small prawns, etc.
  • Instead of this chilli yoghurt dipping sauce, you can serve these fritters with sweet chilli sauce, hot chilli sauce, spicy mayo, tomato ketchup, tartar sauce, sour cream, etc.
  • You can also serve it as a breakfast with poached egg on the top.
  • Freezing and reheating - You can freeze the leftover fritters in a freezer-safe bag or container for later use. Place the parchment paper between each patty.
  •  To reheat, place them in the pre-heated air-fryer or oven at 180C / 350F for 4-5 minutes until crispy again.
  • This recipe makes 8-10 fritters. You can double or triple the ingredients if you are preparing a big batch.
