METHOD
To make the frittatas, finely grate the zucchini and combine it with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a mixing bowl. Allow to drain in a colander. Similarly, drain the sweetcorn, place it in a bowl, and roughly crush some of the kernels with a fork.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornflour, chickpea flour, and baking soda. Combine the stock, tomato purée, and scallion greens in a mixing bowl and add to the flour mixture. Squeeze as much liquid from the zucchini as possible before adding it to the flour mixture with the sweetcorn. Combine all the ingredients to make a dough- like consistency. Season with salt and pepper, then divide into 6 servings. Each one should be shaped into a small, flat cake. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the frittatas in batches until golden brown on both sides. Allow the excess liquid to drain on paper towels.
To make the chutney, peel the mango. Remove the pit and chop the fruit finely. Peel and finely chop the onion and ginger. In a small pan, heat the oil and sauté the onion over medium heat, then add the ginger and cook for a few minutes more. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is slightly mushy but still has distinct chunks of fruit. Add the mango, vinegar, sugar, curry powder, lemon juice, chilli powder, and 2 tbsp. water. Pour into a warm, clean screw-top jar, tightly seal, and set aside to cool. Separately pack the frittatas and chutney to take with you. The frittatas are delicious both warm and cold.
