View the method
  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over gentle heat, and add the flour mixing to form a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in the coconut milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Stir in minced mussels and mashed kumara. Lastly, add beaten egg and season with salt, pepper and herbs.
  2. Melt a little butter into a non stick frying pan and ladle in batter to form fritters. When small bubbles form in the batter, turn the fritter over and cook until golden brown. Keep covered in a warm oven until ready to heat.
  3. Serve with lemon wedges.
