50g self-raising flour
½ tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp cumin seeds
3 eggs
1 courgette
spritz of spray oil
rocket dressed with olive oil and lemon juice
to serve
hot sauce
to serve (optional)

Method

step 1
Tip the flour, turmeric, cumin seeds, 1 of the eggs and lots of seasoning into a bowl, then whisk in 50ml of water to create a batter that has a dropping consistency. Use a spiralizer to turn the courgette into long thin noodles, then gently fold into the batter.
step 2
Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and put over a medium-high heat. Divide the batter into 4 (snip any long courgette spirals) and, in batches, cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and puffed, then flip and repeat. Keep warm in a low oven.
step 3
Heat a large pan of water to a gentle simmer. One by one, crack the remaining eggs into a cup or ramekin, then gently pour into the water. Cook for 2 minutes until the whites have just set, then remove with a slotted spoon.
step 4
Divide the fritters onto 2 plates, top with a poached egg and serve alongside dressed rocket and hot sauce, if you like.
