Vegan Corn Fritters

Ingredients

• 2 cups shaved sweetcorn kernels (approx. 2 ears of corn)
• 7 oz silken firm tofu
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp garam masala
• A good pinch of chili (optional)
• 1¼ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• Small bunch of fresh coriander, finely chopped
• 1 spring onion / scallion, finely chopped
• 1 large garlic clove, finely grated
• 1 heaped cup chickpea flour
• ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk or water
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Place all the ingredients, except for oil, in a large mixing bowl.
2. Mix until smooth and lump free.
3. The batter should have a thick but spoonable consistency. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes for the baking powder and soda to activate.
4. Heat up a medium non-stick frying pan on the stove, but be careful not to get the pan too hot as the pancakes will burn before cooking in the middle.
5. Heat up a little oil in the frying pan – the more oil you use, the crispier these will become. More oil will turn these into fritters, a small amount of oil will make them into pancakes.
6. Place 1 tbsp of batter per pancake / fritter onto the hot oil. Flatten the pancakes/ fritters with the back of a spoon and fry for about 2-3 minutes on one side and 2 minutes on the other side.
