• 2 tbsp self raising flour

• 1 tsp ground coriander

• 1 tsp paprika

• pinch of salt

• 1/2 small red onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced

6. Take spoonfuls of carrot mixture and push them into the pan, shape them into fritters with the back of the spoon and fry for about 3 minutes on each side until browning and crispy. Fry three of four at a time, depending on the size of your pan.

7. Keep them warm in a low oven while you fry the remaining fritters.
