1⁄2 cup long thread coconut, lightly toasted
4 spring onions, finely sliced including some green
1⁄2 cup packed coriander leaves, chopped
1 1⁄2 cups cooked, fresh sweetcorn kernels or 1 x 410 gram tin sweetcorn kernels
1 egg, separated 2/3 cup self raising flour
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup crème fraîche
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
2 avocados rocket leaves
METHOD
Combine the coconut cream, coconut, spring onions, coriander, sweetcorn, egg yolk and the flour in a large bowl. Season well. Set aside for 20 minutes.
Beat the egg white to firm peaks and gently fold into the batter.
