Zucchini Chickpea fritters with corn: Method
- Prepare tomato relish. Heat oil in a small frying pan. Fry onion over a medium heat, stirring occasionally until soft. Add ginger and allspice and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add lemon zest, cloves, chilli flakes, polpa, sugar and vinegar. Simmer, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes or until very thick. Set aside.
 - Prepare fritters. Place chickpeas, onion and garlic in a food processor and process until roughly chopped. Place in a large bowl. Add zucchini, corn and coriander. Whisk milk and eggs together in a separate bowl; add to chickpea mix and stir to combine. Gradually stir in the sifted flour and salt.
 - Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Using ¼ cup mixture per fritter, cook 4 fritters for 3 minutes each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat to make 18 fritters. Serve zucchini chickpea fritters with tomato relish.
