Ingredients

• 200 grams Crab meat
• 200 grams Prawns, peeled and finely chopped
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Cornstarch
• 1 large Egg
• 120 ml Milk
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 large Red chili, finely chopped
• 3 stalks Spring onions, finely sliced
• 3 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Sweet chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped prawns, minced garlic, red chili, spring onions, and cilantro.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the egg and milk to the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms.

Step 4

Fold the crab and prawn mixture into the batter until evenly coated.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or 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, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 8

For the dipping sauce, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and chili flakes in a small bowl.

Step 9

Serve the fritters hot with the chilli lime dipping sauce on the side.
