Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- skillet or frying pan
- Slotted spoon
- Paper towels for draining
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels you can also use canned or frozen corn, drained (300 g)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour adjust as needed (120 g)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup water adjust as needed (240 ml)
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Add the water gradually while stirring until you get a thick batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the corn and other ingredients, but not too runny.
- Add the corn kernels, green onions, minced garlic, ground coriander, turmeric powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated with the batter.
Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat enough oil over medium heat to deep-fry the fritters. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Fritters:
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve:
- Serve the Corn Fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or sambal.
