Method
Drain the sweetcorn, trim and thinly slice the green beans, and finely shred the lime leaves.
Blitz two-thirds of the sweetcorn with the curry paste, egg, rice flour, soy sauce and palm sugar in a food processor to a thick paste.
Transfer to a bowl and fold in the remaining sweetcorn, sliced green beans and shredded lime leaves.
Shape the mixture into 12 small patties, about 1.5cm thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and shallow-fry the patties in batches for 3 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
Lift out with tongs, drain on kitchen paper and serve warm.
