Updated at: Sun, 18 Feb 2024 13:15:52 GMT

Step 1

Drain your sweetcorn

Step 2

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Step 3

Combine your cornflour, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground turmeric and ginger & garlic paste with your eggis] (reserving 1 egg per person for later!)

Step 4

Add the drained sweetcorn and blanched peas with a very generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up until fully combined - this is your fritter mixture

Step 5

Once the pan is hot, spoon the fritter mixture into the pan, roughly divided into 2 per person and cook for 4 min on one side, then 2 min on the other until golden and cooked through - these are your Indian-style pea & sweetcorn fritters

Step 6

Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? You may need to do this in 2 batches!

Step 7

Meanwhile, heat a separate large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Step 8

Once hot, add half your nigella seeds, then crack the reserved egg[s] into the pan and sprinkle the remaining nigella seeds over the top with a pinch of salt

Step 9

Cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 min or until done to your liking - this is your nigella egg[s]

Step 10

While the eggs] and fritters are cooking, bash your cucumber with a rolling pin and chop it roughly

Step 11

Tip: Bash the cucumber in its bag to avoid mess. By bruising the cucumber, the water is drawn out more easily!

Step 12

Loosen your chilli relish with a squeeze of lemon juice

Step 13

Wash your baby leaf salad, then pat dry with kitchen paper

Step 14

Add the bashed cucumber to a medium bowl with the baby leaf salad

Step 15

Squeeze the juice of your lemon[s] over the top with a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil and toss together - this is your zingy salad

Step 16

Serve the Indian-style pea & sweetcorn fritters, stacked, with the zingy salad to the side

Step 17

Top the fritters with a nigella egg and drizzle the chilli relish over the top

Step 18

Enjoy!
