Spicy Broad Bean Fritters with Lemon Minted Yoghurt

These fritters make a delicious snack. They not only taste awesome but they look amazing – dark and crunchy on the outside, bright green and soft inside! They're simple to make, and the spiciness just makes them work. This dish is best made with early season, fresh-as-a-daisy, pastel-green broad beans. Or you can use frozen broad beans – simply defrost them and pinch off their skins.
