I first made these fritters a couple of weeks ago as I had grown more radishes than I knew what to do with!
I'd found a recipe for Radish Fritters that was made with sour cream, lots of breadcrumbs and fried in butter, so I played around the ingredients a bit to make them more Weight Watcher friendly and developed these low SmartPoint versions. I serve them with salad and a simple dipping sauce of fat free Greek yogurt and chopped chives.
So, first up! I'm aware that not everybody likes radishes, they are a little love 'em or hate 'em.
But if you love them, then you may well love these peppery little fritters!
They make a lovely, and very different, low SmartPoint Weight Watchers lunch.

Follow these steps to make the perfect fritter!
- Firstly, grate the radishes using a coarse grater, place in a sieve placed over a bowl and sprinkle with salt (pic 1)
- Excess liquid from the radishes will drain into the bowl (pic 2)
- Thoroughly wash the salt from the radish before squeezing out as much liquid by pressing it against the edges of the sieve.
- Finely chop the spring onions / scallions to roughly the same size as the grated radish (pic 3)
- Mix in the breadcrumbs and cornflour (pic 4) before adding the wet ingredients (pic 5)

Radish Fritters
Ingredients
For the fritters
- 200 g radishes grated
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 spring onions chopped finely
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp fat free Greek yogurt
- black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
For the dip
- 4 tbsp fat free Greek yogurt
- chives finely chopped
Instructions
- Grate the radishes using a coarse grater. Place them in a sieve over a bowl and sprinkle with salt (see pic 1) . Set aside for 15 minutes & you will notice that liquid from the radishes will have drained into the bowl (see pic 2). Rinse the radishes thoroughly and squeeze out excess liquid by pushing the grated radish against the sides of the sieve.
- Place the grated radish into a mixing bowl along with the chopped spring onions, breadcrumbs and cornflour (see pic 3 & 4).
- Beat the yogurt and egg together and pour over the radish mixture, add some pepper and mix to combine (pic 5).
- I find it best to make these fritters in 2 batches. Make the first four fritters by heating half the oil over a medium heat and placing 4 heaped spoons of the radish mix into the frying pan. Flatten gently with the back of the spoon and cook for 2 - 3 minutes until they are golden and have firmed up. Gently flip the fritter and cook for a further 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside whilst you cook the next batch.
- Serve with some fat free natural yogurt and chopped chives for dipping.
