Ingredients
Method
15 mins prep20 mins cook35 mins total
In a large bowl, mix plain flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
Add eggs, fish sauce and lime zest, whisking into a thick batter.
Fold in sweetcorn, spring onions, coriander, chilli and garlic until evenly combined.
Heat a thin layer of oil in a large hob frying pan over medium heat.
Drop heaped tablespoons of batter into the pan, flattening lightly. Fry in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
Transfer to a wire rack or paper-lined plate and keep warm while cooking the remaining fritters.
Serve hot with sweet chilli sauce and lime wedges.
Notes
Rice flour helps the fritters crisp up beautifully, but plain flour alone also works.
Do not overcrowd the pan; batch frying keeps edges crisp.
For a milder version, reduce or skip the fresh chilli.
