Instructions

  • Separate sweet corn kernels from the cob, I chose to use my knife, you can adapt your convenient method.
  • Take the corn in a container and pressure cook it by keeping inside a cooker, adding water in the cooker, no water in the corn container.
  • Once done, drain water if any and keep aside.
  • Finely chop onion, green chilli, coriander and mint leaves.
  • I made fresh ginger garlic paste by grinding 4 cloves of garlic, 2 teaspoon of ginger along with fennel seeds.
  • If using readymade ginger garlic paste, add fennel as such.
  • Add ½ cup of cooked corn to the mixer and just give couple of pulses to grind coarsely.
  • Take the ground paste, top it with remaining cooked corn (drain water if any).
  • Add chopped onion, green chilli, coriander, mint, curry leaves, salt, chickpea flour, corn flour.
  • Mix well so the the mixture comes together. Add more chickpea flour if needed.
  • Heat oil in kadai/ pan and add small portions of the mixture in oil in sprinkled way.

  • Flip and cook until golden both sides and drain over paper towels.

Notes

  • Make sure to cook corn well, otherwise it could pop while frying in oil. Also oil should not be fuming hot.
  • Let oil be in optimum temperature, not low not fuming, just hot.
  • If low, it will drink oil.
  • Adjust besan flour as needed to bind the pakoda.
  • You can use readymade ginger garlic paste and add fennel seeds in step 9.
  • Do not add more ginger garlic paste than mentioned. If not corn flour, use rice flour.
