Cooking Instructions
- Finely chop or crush the garlic. Finely dice the onion. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add three-quarters of the onion and cook for 5 mins, until softened. Add the garlic and spice mix, cook for 2 mins, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Make the fritter batter; drain the sweetcorn and add to the mixing bowl along with the flour and 3 tbsp cold water (11/2 for 1 person). Season to taste and mix well.
- Reheat the frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. With wet hands, shape the batter into 6 patties. Add the fritters and cook for 3-4 mins, per side, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Drain and rinse the beans. Roughly chop the coriander. Halve the tomatoes and the lime. Make the salsa; in a small bowl, combine the beans, tomatoes, remaining onion, half the coriander and juice from half the lime. Season to taste and mix well.
- Roughly mash the avocado with the back of a fork. Squeeze over the juice from the remaining lime and season to taste.
- Serve the mixed salad topped with salsa, sweetcorn fritters and mashed avocado on the side. Garnish with the remaining coriander.
