Halloumi and Corn Fritters

Charmaine Lu -
  • Kernels from 2 corn cobs
  • 250g grated halloumi
  • 2 tsp nigella seeds
  • Pinch of chilli flakes
  • 1 crushed garlic clove
  • 6 sliced spring onions
  • 3 beaten eggs
  • 4 tbsp self-raising flour
  • 200ml olive oil for frying
  • Mint raita, to serve
  • Add the corn kernels to a bowl with the cheese, garlic, spices, onions, eggs and flour. Season liberally and mix to combine.
  • Add about 0.5cm of olive oil to a frying pan and heat until sizzling. Drop heaped tablespoons of the batter mixture into the hot oil and flatten into fritters in batches. Fry for 4 mins, then flip and fry for a few more minutes on the other side, or until crisp and golden - you’ll get about 14 fritters from the mixture. Drain on kitchen paper, season with sea salt, and serve with mint raita or any dips you fancy.
