    1 Preheat oven to 150°C. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until translucent. Remove from heat and mix in a large bowl with corn, salt, capsicum and pumpkin seeds. Add flour and cumin, then gradually stir in water and eggs until combined.

    2 Increase heat to medium-high and add remaining oil. Place 1/4 cup scoops of the mixture in the pan and gently fry. For best results, cook fritters in batches for 3-4 minutes each side until golden-brown. Place fritters in a warm oven until ready to serve.

    3 To make avocado smash, place avocado flesh, broad beans and lemon juice in a large bowl. Mash together with a fork until combined. Add coriander and pepper and stir through.

    4 Serve two fritters per person, topped with avocado smash, mint leaves and lime wedges.
