Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, ground cumin, baking powder, and water with a pinch of salt. Then whisk until the batter is smooth.
  • Add the corn, red pepper, carrot, garlic, parsley, and green onions to the bowl with the batter, and toss until the veggies are coated in the batter.
  • Drizzle a little olive oil into a non-stick skillet over a medium heat. Once hot, take ¼ cup of the batter and add it to the skillet. Repeat with as many fritters as you can fit into the skillet at one time.
  • Fry the fritters for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat this process until all the batter has been used up.
  • To make the chermoula, add all the ingredients to a food processor and blitz until smooth. You can add a little water if necessary to reach a dip like consistency.
  • Serve the fritters with the chermoula sauce.
  • This recipe makes 8 fritters, allowing 2 fritters and sauce per serving.
