Corn Fritters
These corn fritters are real easy to make and make a crunchy tea-time snack and a great after-school snack for kids. Despite being fried, these fritters are a healthy snack food, because not only does corn contain fiber, it also has significant amounts of folate, thiamin (vitamin B1), phosphorus and other vitamins and minerals which contribute to heart health.
Servings: 3-4
Cooking Time: 15-20 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups corn kernels, scraped off from the cob
- 1 1/2 cups onion, finely chopped
- 3-4 green chillies, finely chopped
- 4-5 curry leaves or 1 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
- Turmeric powder, a pinch
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour (maida)
- 3 tsp corn starch powder
- 2 tsp bread crumbs or semolina (rava)
- Salt to taste
- Vegetable oil for deep-frying
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients with just enough water to hold them together.
- Heat oil in a frying pan. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a little of the corn batter into the oil; if it rises to the top immediately, the oil is ready.
- Using two tablespoons, pick up a little of the fritter batter in one, and gently slide it into the oil with the other spoon. Repeat with the remaining batter until there are enough fritters for the oil and fry until golden brown. Drain any excess oil on a paper towel. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve the corn fritters hot with hot masala chai (tea), coffee or other beverage of your choice.
