Preparation
Step 1
Steam or boil the broccoli until quite tender (but not mushy). I did this in the microwave using a steamer, it took 3 minutes on high.
Step 2
Use a potato masher to roughy "squish" the broccoli. Not to look like mashed potato, but just to squish it a bit so when cooked it can be flattened with a spatula to make fritters with a smooth surface rather than having big lumps sticking out.
Step 3
Combine the Yoghurt Sauce ingredients and mix well.
Step 4
Place egg in a bowl and use a fork to lightly beat the egg. Add the remaining Batter ingredients and mix until combined. The Batter may seem a little thick but it will loosen up when you add the broccoli because when you squish it, it will release some liquid.
Step 5
Add the broccoli and mix to evenly disperse throughout the Batter.
Step 6
Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a fry pan over medium heat.
Step 7
Scoop 1/4 cup of Batter and drop into the pan and use a spoon to gently flatten to about 1cm/1/3" thickness. Cook 3 fritters at a time.
Step 8
Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining Batter.
Step 9
Serve with the Yoghurt Sauce and extra lemon wedges, if desired.
