What do other kids like to eat and help make at home? A quick ring-around of friends and relatives revealed all things sweet rate highest. It's fun and easy to stir pancake batters and cake mixes,roll out gingerbread,ice cakes - and lick sticky fingers. Children also really like crumbing things,such as chicken,fish or even vegetables,getting hands-on and messy. And,when it's all golden and crispy,it's very yummy.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups grated carrots (about 1 large carrot)
1 1/2 cups corn kernels (frozen or canned will do but freshly cooked tastes better)
1 egg
2 spring onions,finely chopped
1 heaped tbsp parsley or coriander,chopped
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup self-raising flour
1/2 cup cornflour
1/2 tsp curry powder*
Pinch salt
Olive oil for frying
(*I sneak the curry powder in and say nothing - it imparts a wonderful yellow colour and kids love it without knowing it is there.)

Method

Combine the ingredients in a bowl. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat with a little olive oil. Fry spoonfuls of the mixture until golden brown on both sides. Drain on kitchen paper.
To serve
