Ingredients 

40 ml Cows Milk - Skimmed or Semi Skimmed

30 g Cottage Cheese - Low Fat

1/2 medium egg

1/4 medium pepper 

1/2 clove garlic

1/2 tsp Ginger - Grated

1/2 Spring Onion

40 g Sweetcorn Tinned

1 medium tomato 

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

Method

  1. For the Chili Jam: Preheat oven to 220C/Gasmark 8. Chop the tomatoes in half and place them cut side up on a lightly oiled oven tray. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
  2. Once roasted chop the tomato roughly and place in a frying pan with crushed garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, chopped and deseeded chilli and diced peppers. Fry for 2-3 minutes and put to one side.
  3. For the fritters: Sift flour, baking powder and paprika into medium bowl. Whisk milk and eggs in a separate bowl, once mixed gradually whisk in with the flour until the batter is smooth.
  4. Then stir corn, chopped spring onion and paprika into batter.
  5. Preheat a frying pan and spoon in small fritter size portions. Cook for 2 minutes, flip and then cook for a further 2 minutes.
  6. Remove from the pan but keep warm in a low heated grill until all fritters are ready. Repeat until all batter is used.
  7. Place the fritters on a plate, with the cottage cheese to one side and the chilli jam in a small pot.

The chilli jam can be made in bulk and kept in the fridge for a week or so and used with other dishes.
