About this recipe
Corn and coriander fritters with avocado tahini on the Thermomix TM7 bring vibrant street-food energy straight to your kitchen. Searching for a quick weeknight dinner recipe or a crowd-pleasing vegetarian starter? This all-in-one kitchen machine handles every step: it chops fresh coriander in seconds, coarsely mixes the sweet corn batter for that ideal texture with whole kernels for bite, and blends avocado with tahini and lime juice into a silky, nutty sauce. The contrast between the golden, crisp fritters and the cool, creamy green dip makes this recipe a standout for summer lunches, brunches or casual gatherings with friends. Because the TM7 weighs ingredients directly in the bowl, there is no pile of measuring cups to wash, and the guided steps keep the batter consistent every single time. Fresh lime, ground pepper and olive oil lift the natural sweetness of the corn, creating a balanced flavour that feels both healthy and indulgent.
Preparation tips
- Tip 1: Keep a few corn kernels whole and fold them into the batter by hand after mixing, so the fritters have visible golden bursts of sweetness and a satisfying bite in every mouthful.
- Tip 2: Make the avocado tahini just before frying and press cling film directly onto its surface to prevent discolouration; a squeeze of extra lime juice also keeps the sauce vividly green.
- Tip 3: Fry the fritters in a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium heat and flip only once, when the edges turn golden, for an evenly crisp crust without greasiness. Add chilli flakes for grown-ups.
- Tip 4: Swap fresh coriander for flat-leaf parsley if someone dislikes coriander, and add a little grated lime zest to keep the same fresh, citrusy character in the batter.
Recipe variations
- Gluten-free version: replace plain flour with a gluten-free flour blend and add an extra spoon of corn kernels; the fritters stay crisp and the avocado tahini is naturally gluten-free.
- Festive summer variation: top the fritters with crumbled feta, pickled red onion and extra coriander, and serve as small party bites with cocktail sticks alongside the avocado tahini.
