Our cooks have made hundreds of versions of sweetcorn fritters over the years, especially at festivals. They make a great canapé, lunch box filler or brunch topped with rocket, avocado and bacon. Use tinned sweetcorn for an easy, store cupboard snack – although you lose the crunch and sweetness of fresh corn. If you've got a bit more time make you own Thai green curry paste - it makes all the difference to the taste.

Ingredients

3 sweetcorn cobs
100g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
75ml milk
3 tbsp Thai green curry paste
15g fresh coriander leaves
oil for frying, e.g. sunflower or coconut
salt and pepper
