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
- 140 g Chickpea Flour
- 4 Eggs
- 340 g Sweetcorn ((drained from a tin))
- 2 tsp Curry Powder ((mild))
- 1 tsp Garlic ((powder))
- 4 Spring Onions
- 1 tbsp Coriander ((fresh leaves))
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
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.
- 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.
The recipe is delicious but I had to add 100ml of water to the batter
