Method:
1) Place the plain flour, rice flour, baking powder, sea salt and turmeric in a large bowl and mix to combine. Slowly add 250ml cold water whilst mixing to form a batter. Fold the sliced potato and prawns into the batter.
2) Place a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and add enough oil to cover the pan by 1cm. Fry tablespoonfuls of the batter in the hot oil, pressing out to form a thin disk, for 3-4 minutes each side. Drain on kitchen towel and keep warm in a low oven. Continue cooking the fritters until the batter is exhausted.
3) Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce by mixing all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
4) Cut the fritters into wedges and serve with the dipping sauce.
