FRESH CORN FRITTERS

salt and pepper3 cobs of corn 1 cup self-raising flour, 1 egg, lightly beaten 2 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp ground cumin ½ tsp dried chilli flakes 1 bunch chives, finely chopped ½ cup buttermilk or milk ¼ cup good quality oil

Method

Peel husk off corn and holding at the top of the corn, run a knife down the corn so the kernels come off (good to do over a bowl). Heat a couple of teaspoon oil in pan and cook corn until it goes a glossy golden yellow. Remove and cool down. In a good size bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients, add the egg and milk/buttermilk and mix to combine. Add the corn and chopped chives. Season well with salt and pepper. Use a good size heavy based fry pan, add the remaining oil and heat gently. Add spoonfuls to hot oil and cook until lightly golden on both sides - 4 mins approx. Serve whilst hot, sprinkle with sea salt.
