These pumpkin fritters are a deliciously different way to use pumpkin, that works well as a side or as the main event for a light lunch.

Method:

  1. Combine the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, spices, and a little salt and pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk. Whisk until you have a smooth, silky batter.
  2. Stir in the grated pumpkin and sweetcorn to create a loose paste.
  3. Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Place a dollop of mixture into the pan, flattening gently with the back of a spoon. Cook over a high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
  4. For the salsa, dice the avocado into small cubes. Cut the tomato into small pieces and finely chop the red onion. Juice the lime and combine everything together in a small bowl.

The fritters are delicious hot or cold, and can be stored in an airtight box for a couple of days.
