Method
Step 1
To make the date-mustard sauce, in a blender, combine dates, vinegar, oil, mustard and 1/3 cup (80ml) water. Blend for 1 min or until emulsified and smooth. Season with salt and transfer to a serving bowl.
Step 2
In a large bowl, place grated carrot. Add the salt and set aside for 10 mins to soften. Transfer the carrot mixture to a colander over a bowl and use your hands to squeeze as much excess liquid from the carrot as possible. Return carrot to the large bowl. Whisk in eggs and spring onion until combined.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the cornflour, plain flour, baking powder, curry powder, ground coriander and cumin. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, stir the flour mixture into carrot mixture until thick and just combined.
Step 4
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Heat oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat. Add four 1/3-cup portions of the carrot mixture to the pan, using the back of the cup to slightly flatten. Cook for 2-3 mins each side or until golden. Transfer to the lined tray and sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat with the remaining carrot mixture.
Step 5
Transfer the fritters to a serving platter and sprinkle with the coriander sprigs. Serve with the lime wedges and date-mustard sauce.
