Thai corn fritters vegan
Thai corn fritters vegan, a sweet and spicy tasting snack with sweet corn. Step by step photos for easy understanding. Using frozen corn is the easiest way.
Servings: 15 fritters
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sweet corn kernels frozen
- 3 tablespoon All purpose flour
- 1.5 tablespoon Rice flour
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper powder
- Oil for deep frying
To grind coarsely
- 4 Shallots small onions
- 2 Bird's eye chilli or green chilli
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Coriander leaves chopped
- 1 Coriander root optional
Instructions
- Place the corn in a microwaveable bowl with lid and cook covered for 4 minutes in high or as per instructions in the cover of the frozen corn. No need to add water.
- Stir in between for even cooking. If using fresh corn, then you can add 2 tablespoon of water.
- Grind the items in the table “To grind coarsely” with 2 tablespoon of water.
- Mix cooked corn (cooled down), ground item, pepper powder, both flours, salt with a tablespoon of water if needed.
- The consistency should be like a vada batter. Adjust flour or water to get the consistency right.
- Heat oil in a kadai, wet you hands with little water and make patties and drop carefully in the hot oil. The flame should be medium when you drop the fritters.
- Make sure the oil not too hot, as it will make the corn pop and its dangerous as the oil may spill.
- You can also spoon the corn mixture to oil, so if you want you can adjust the consistency accordingly.
- Cook on both sides for total 4 minutes in medium flame, flipping to ensure even cooking. Cook until its golden in colour.
- Make sure you stand a bit far, in case the corn pops in the oil, for safer side. Fry 3-4 per batch and drain over paper towels.
Notes
- Make sure to cook the sweet corn in closed container to ensure retain its moisture.
- You can also steam it, if you don't have microwave.Corn should be cooked properly to avoid popping in the hot oil.
- Oil should not be fuming hot at any point, just make sure to higher and lower accordingly as there are chances of popping.
- Any way, one or two corn per batch will pop, so make sure you stand at safe distance while the fritters are getting cooked.
- Also there should be enough batter to bind and coat the corns.Use a deep frying pan.
- I used coriander root alone while grinding, as this is a Thai recipe and asked for it, but we can use coriander leaves alone and I tried that way too, it was nice.
