Ingredients

Scale

For the Fritters

  • 2 cups chopped leeks
  • 1 (14-ounce) can corn, drained (or fresh/frozen corn for firmer texture)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 16 ounces cottage cheese
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

For the Yogurt Sauce

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup chopped mint
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions

  • Prepare the Fritter Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the leeks, corn, flour, beaten egg, cottage cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
  • Cook the Fritters: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Scoop about ¾ cup of the mixture and form into patties. Place 2-3 fritters in the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip the fritters, press them slightly to create more surface area, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until lightly charred and cooked through.
  • Make the Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the plain yogurt with chopped mint, cilantro, and lime juice. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  • Serve: Drizzle the herby yogurt sauce over the warm fritters and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Fresh Corn Option: Use fresh or frozen corn instead of canned for a slightly firmer texture.
  • Herb Variations: Swap cilantro or mint with parsley or dill based on your preference.
  • Make-Ahead: Cook fritters in advance and reheat in a pan or oven for a quick meal.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with a side salad or a poached egg for a complete meal.
