• Pre-heat the oven to hot. 220°C or 425-450°F or gas mark 7-8.
• Heat oil in a large, preferably non-stick pan, and shallow-fry level tablespoons of the mixture, until the fritters are browned on both sides, place on paper kitchen towelling to absorb excess oil then transfer the fritters to oven trays and bake uncovered for about 10 minutes or until they are crisped and cooked right through.
• Combine the yoghurt and extra mint.
• Serve the fritters immediately with the yoghurt and mint topping.
