Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Tip all the fritter ingredients into a bowl. Gradually work in about 200ml cold water until everything is bound in a thick, spoonable batter (you can do this an hour ahead, but the fritters should be cooked at the last minute).

2. 2

   Heat a decent layer of oil in a large frying pan, then fry large spoonfuls of the batter for 2 mins until golden. Flip them over, cook on the other side, then lift onto kitchen paper and keep warm while you cook another batch.

3. 3

   Make the salsa by mixing all the ingredients together. Serve the fritters with the salsa for spooning over.
