Ingredients
- 1 carrot – peeled and grated (squeeze in a muslin or tea towel to drain excess moisture)

- 1 cup (108g) sweetcorn
- ½ onion, finely diced
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander

Instructions
Before you start please ensure that excess moisture has been squeezed from the grated carrot, the best way to do this is to place it into a muslin cloth or tea towel and squeeze the moisture out into the sink
In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients, except the oil, until they are well combined
In a large frying pan, heat the oil over a medium heat and then spoon in two tablespoons of your mixture per fritter, cook for two minutes or each side until golden brown
Serve once cooled.
