Ingredients

198g / 7oz tin sweetcorn, drained
100g / 4oz wholemeal flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
4 spring onions, roughly chopped
Handful of basil, chopped

100g /4oz grated halloumi cheese
Sunflower oil for frying

Method

Blend 100 g/4 oz of the sweetcorn in the bowl of a food processor, or in a mixing bowl with a stick blender, until finely chopped.
Combine the flour, baking powder and eggs in a bowl. Whisk in the sweet chilli sauce and finely chopped sweetcorn. Add the remaining ingredients including the remaining whole, unblended sweetcorn kernels. Season to taste (if using).
Heat a little oil in a frying pan. When hot, fry heaped tablespoonfuls of the fritter mixture for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to kitchen paper.

Fritters are a firm family favourite and a great way to encourage kids to eat their veggies. Halloumi cheese has a very high melting point so it works well in a fritter. The fresh basil and sweet chilli sauce gives these a delicious flavour.
