    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Place grated courgette between paper towels and squeeze out excess liquid. Add courgette to a large bowl with kumara, carrot, onion, parsley, cumin and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Add eggs and mix until combined.

    2 Heat a large non-stick fry pan on a medium heat and spray with oil. Fry quarter-cup measures of batter in batches, for 3—4 minutes each side, until golden. Repeat until all mixture is used.

    3 To make salsa, combine ingredients in a large bowl.

    4 In a small bowl, combine cottage cheese and sweet chilli sauce; mix well.

    5 Serve fritters with sweet chilli dip, and salsa on the side.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free flour and check ground cumin and sweet chilli sauce are gluten free.

    HFG tip

    • Press down on top of each fritter with a fish slice or the back of a spoon. This helps the fritter form a crust as it cooks.
    • Freeze the fritters in single portions for handy meals for one. Serve with quarter amounts of the salsa and dip.
