Method

1 Half-fill our Magnus Fry Pan with oil and set over a medium heat.

2 Meanwhile, toast the spices in a separate fry pan for 2-3 minutes. Tip into a spice grinder and blitz to a powder.

3 For the batter, put the flour, cornflour and ground spices in a large bowl then whisk in the stock.

4 A handful at a time, coat the runner beans in the batter. Carefully place into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes, until golden. Transfer to kitchen paper to drain.

5 Poach the eggs in our Magnus Casserole with Lid until the yolks are still soft.

6 Serve the fritters and poached eggs with the sliced chilli, coriander and chilli oil.
