quickly, add 2 tbsp sunflower oil, then
stir-fry 500g sliced courgettes for
3-4 mins until browned. Add 1 sliced
red chilli, 2 sliced garlic cloves, a
small piece fresh root ginger, finely
shredded, and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Cook

Method
-
Tip all the fritter ingredients into a bowl. Gradually work in about 200ml cold water until everything is bound in a thick, spoonable batter (you can do this an hour ahead, but the fritters should be cooked at the last minute).
-
Heat a decent layer of oil in a large frying pan, then fry large spoonfuls of the batter for 2 mins until golden. Flip them over, cook on the other side, then lift onto kitchen paper and keep warm while you cook another batch.
-
Make the salsa by mixing all the ingredients together. Serve the fritters with the salsa for spooning over.
