Method;
- So when frying stuff you'd usually use batter or bread crumbs. I went for both. Flour and milk mixed together made the batter, a baguette and a cheese grater made the crumbs (I added a little Parmesan as well).
- Now I needed something to fry. I'd left the batter quite thick, rolled some cubes of mozzarella in it, then rolled them in the bread crumbs. I then sliced an onion into thin strips and mixed it in with the rest of the batter along with the sweetcorn.
- So lots of fried stuff is great, but can be a little dry. So a basic sauce; 3 tomatoes, olive oil, basil, tomato puree, garlic, a little sugar, a chili and some water... low heat for as long as you can be bothered- you need the tomatoes to start reducing down.
- Now the fritter- get a frying pan, quite a lot of oil and a lot of heat. Put the onion mix it there, spread it out evenly. After about 5/10 mins I tried to flip it. I did this by sliding it out onto a plate, putting the pan over the fritter and flipping the pan/plate combo. I'd have taken a picture but my hands were full. Fry until crispy on the outside, soft in the middle.
- The process for frying the cheese balls was pretty similar- hot oil in a pan, chuck the balls in and then roll them around until golden brown.
- Put the mozzarella balls on the fritters. Not much to say here but the photo shows how everything should look.
- Once the sauce has reduced down a little you can add it to the top to create a complete meal
ReviewI really liked this meal. I think using more than half a mozzarella ball would have helped here and maybe a slightly thinner fritter would have been better. Calling the fritter a mega-bhaji would have improved the whole process.
