Mumbai Cheesy Bacon Fritters & Pumpkin Seeds

• Meanwhile, drain sweetcorn. Grate carrot, then squeeze out any excess moisture using a paper towel or clean cloth. Thinly slice onion. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast pumpkin seeds, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

• In a medium bowl, combine the egg, sweetcorn, bacon, carrot, onion, Mumbai spice blend, vegetable stock powder, shredded Cheddar cheese, the plain flour, milk and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.

TIP: Lift out some of the mixture with a spoon. If it's too wet and doesn't hold its shape, add a little more flour!

• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. When oil is hot, add heaped tablespoons of fritter mixture in batches and flatten with a spatula. • Cook fritters until golden, 3-4 minutes each side (don't flip to early!). • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining fritter mixture. You should get 3-4 fritters per person.

TIP: Add extra oil if needed to ensure the fritters don’t stick to the pan.

• Meanwhile, pick and thinly slice mint leaves. In a small bowl, combine mint and Greek-style yoghurt. Season to taste and set aside. • To the tray with the potatoes, add baby spinach leaves and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Season to taste and toss to coat.
