Instructions

Chilli jam

Step 1

In a food processor, add the chillies, garlic and ginger. Blitz until a thick paste forms, scraping down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything mixes evenly.

Step 2

Add paste into a saucepan, adding in the lime juice, sugar, vinegar, water, fish and soy sauces. Stir over a medium heat until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Turn the heat to low and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by about a third. The jam will start to become thicker and stickier, and a deeper red at which point it is ready.

Step 4

Remove from the heat and set aside until ready to serve.

Fritters

Step 5

Squeeze out excess moisture from grated zucchini, then add to a bowl along with the other ingredients. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Heat some oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Place a heaped tablespoon of the fritter mixture into the pan for each fritter, cooking in batches of 3-4 (depending on the size of your pan).

Step 7

Fry gently for about 4-5 minutes before turning over to cook for a further 3-4 minutes (or until golden brown). Once cooked, place on some paper tower to absorb excess oil.

Step 8

Serve with some salad leaves and the chilli jam.
