Ingredients

• 1/2 cup almond flour

• 1/2 cup self-raising flour

• 1/2 tsp turmeric

• 3/4 - 1 cup coconut milk

• 1 small sweet potato, grated

• 400g raw prawns, peeled and chopped

• 1/2 cup frozen peas

Dipping sauce

• 1 fresh red chilli or 1/4 tsp dried chilli

• 2 Tbsp rice vinegar

• 1/4 cup water

• 2 Tbsp fish sauce

• 1 Tbsp grated carrot

Method

1) Place all the sauce ingredients except the carrot into a small pot and heat until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside. Once cooled, add the carrot and mix.

2) Place the flours, turmeric and coconut milk in a bowl and whisk into a thick batter.

3) Place the sweet potato in a clean towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Add to the batter along with the prawns, peas, coriander and kaffir lime or lime and mix to combine. Add more coconut milk if it’s too thick for your liking.

4) In a large frying pan add 3-4 Tbsp oil and heat until smoking hot. Drop a heaped tablespoon of batter into the hot oil and cook until golden on both sides. Repeat until all the mixture is used up. Keep the fritters in a warm oven.

5) Serve the fritters and dipping sauce as an appetiser with friends and ENJOY!
