Sweetcorn & Coriander Fritters
If you love eating fritters, you will adore these sweetcorn fritters with a mild curry taste and packed with fresh coriander leaves. These fritters are lightly fried in olive oil and are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. They make a lovely protein-packed savoury breakfast or lunch and a delicious side for a family dinner.
Serve them with chicken, lamb, duck or fish as well as vegetarian dhal or curries. These fritters are delicious dipped into a yoghurt dip such as an Indian Raita.
Chickpea flour is known as gram flour, and you can also use Besan flour which is a combination of chickpea and yellow split peas. It is packed with fibre, iron and calcium as well as protein. See the egg-free/vegan version in the notes below.

Sweetcorn & Coriander Fritters
Ingredients
- 140 g Chickpea Flour
- 4 Eggs
- 340 g Sweetcorn (drained from a tin)
- 2 tsp Mild Curry Powder
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 4 Spring Onions
- 1 tbsp Fresh Coriander Leaves
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Wash and finely chop the spring onions. Chop the fresh coriander. Set aside.
- Weigh out the chickpea flour and add this plus the curry powder and garlic powder into a large whisking bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, then whisk well. Add the eggs, then whisk again to create a smooth batter.
- Add the sweetcorn, chopped spring onions and coriander and stir well.
- Place a large frying pan on a high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, heap three separate spoonfuls of the batter into the pan and pat down to create three fritters.
- Cook for three minutes, then carefully turn over each fritter and cook for a further 2 minutes until golden brown on each side. Pop onto a piece of kitchen roll to absorb any excess oil.
- Continue to cook batches of 3 fritters at a time until all the batter is used up.
Notes
- If you use frozen sweetcorn cook it for 4 minutes in boiling water, and then drain, before adding it to the batter mixture.
- For egg-free fritters, switch out the egg for 60ml aqua faba from a tin of chickpeas.
- These fritters store in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be quickly reheated in a warm oven or microwave. They do not freeze that well, so ideally make them fresh.
