Delightful little vegetarian fritters with the added seasonal bonus of wild garlic (ramsons), chilli and sweetcorn; these fritters are a low 185 calories per serving (4 small or 2 large fritters per person) and can be eaten hot or cold. When wild garlic is out of season, use spring onions instead and omit the chilli if serving these to children, if they are not keen on heat in their food. Serve with lots of salad leaves for a light lunch, supper or snack.
