Thai sweetcorn fritters

Main Serves 4 25 min
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.
