Simmer the tomatoes and the chilli together for 5 minutes with the pinch of sugar and a little salt and pepper. Keep warm.
Boil the water in a saucepan with the butter. Once it's at a rolling boil add the flour and mix in well so that it's lump free. Allow to cool slightly and beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the grated cheese.
Using a tbsp as a measure, take equal quantities of the mixture and drop into oil at 180øC/350øF and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown all over. Drain on kitchen paper and sprinkle with a little salt.
Put two dessertspoonsful of tomato mixture on each plate and arrange four or five of the cheese fritters on each plate. Sprinkle with the crispy bacon pieces and parsely. Serve immediately.
