vegan and glutenfree!

350g silken tofu, broken up into 2cm pieces

200g frozen sweetcorn, de-frosted, or freshly shaved corn from the cob

½ tsp chipotle chilli flakes

½ tsp sweet smoked paprika

¼ tsp ground turmeric

About 5 fresh kaffir lime leaves, woody stems discarded and then blitzed in a spice grinder to 1 tsp powder, or else just finely chopped

1 tsp maple syrup

4 tbsp rice flour; use a variety like ‘Doves’ rather than the glutinous type you’d use to make dumplings

10g coriander leaves, roughly chopped

1 green chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped (15g)

4 spring onions, finely sliced (30g)

70g French beans, trimmed and finely sliced into small rounds, about 2mm thick

60ml sunflower oil

4 lime wedges, to serve

Salt

These fritters are so positively free-from – no dairy, no gluten – that it would be churlish not to serve them with a fried egg to make up for it. Avocado, for those sticking with the vegan theme, is another winning combination. Serve these as close as you can to making them as they really benefit from being eaten nice and crisp, straight from the pan. If you can’t get fresh kaffir lime leaves then use 1 teaspoon of finely grated lime zest instead. If you can’t get the chipotle chilli flakes then either blitz up a whole dried chipotle or ancho chilli or else just increase the smoked paprika to ¾ teaspoon.
