For the fritters, process the potato in a food processor until it becomes a puree. In a bowl, mix the potato puree with the quinoa, pumpkin, cilantro, corn kernels, onion powder, garlic, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Form fritters by hand and fry in a pan over medium heat with vegetable oil until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels and set aside. For the sauce, in a small pot over medium heat, heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil, fry the tomatoes, garlic, onion, and chilies. Add the water and cook for 15 minutes. Let it cool. Blend the previous preparation along with the cilantro. Return to the pot and cook for about 10 minutes or until it thickens. Season. Serve the fritters drenched in the sauce, garnish with parsley and yellow corn kernels.
