- 4 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 120 milliliters cold soda water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 pieces ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Roughly chop the prawns into small pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the egg, soda water, and minced garlic to the dry ingredients, and whisk until you achieve a smooth batter.
Step 4
Fold in the chopped prawns and green onions until evenly distributed.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Step 6
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry the fritters for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 8
While the fritters are frying, prepare the avocado. Scoop the avocados into a bowl, add lime juice, and mash with a fork until smooth. Mix in the chili flakes and cilantro, if desired.
Step 9
Serve the warm fritters with a generous dollop of smashed avocado on the side. Enjoy immediately!
