Batter Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plain flour (all purpose)
- 1/4 cup cornflour (cornstarch)
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp milk (any type)
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels, raw (from about 2 cobs) (canned or frozen also fine)
- 1/2 cup parmesan, finely grated
- 3/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup coriander/cilantro, roughly chopped (or more green onion as substitute)
For Cooking
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- Oil spray
Serving Suggestions
- Avocado sauce
- Sour cream
- Ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 120°C (250°F) and place a wire rack on a baking tray to keep cooked fritters warm.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the plain flour, cornflour, and baking soda thoroughly.
- Make Batter: Add the egg and milk to the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated. Expect a lumpy and thick batter.
- Add Corn Mixture: Stir in the corn kernels, grated parmesan, sliced green onions, and chopped coriander until all the corn is evenly coated with the batter.
- Heat Oil: Pour enough vegetable oil into a skillet to just cover the base and heat over medium-high heat.
- Prepare Spatula: Spray the underside of a spatula with oil to prevent the batter from sticking when flattening.
- Cook Fritters: Using about 1/4 cup of batter for each fritter, place it into the hot skillet and flatten to about 1 cm thick. Cook 2 to 3 fritters at a time without crowding the pan. Fry for 3 minutes until deep golden and crisp, then flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side.
- Keep Warm: Transfer the cooked fritters to the wire rack in the preheated oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining fritters, adding more oil as needed.
- Serve: Serve the hot fritters with your choice of avocado sauce, sour cream, or ketchup for dipping.
Notes
- You can use canned or frozen corn if fresh corn is unavailable; just make sure to drain any excess moisture.
- Spraying the spatula with oil helps in flattening the batter without it sticking, ensuring even texture.
- Keeping the cooked fritters warm in a low oven prevents sogginess and keeps them crispy.
- Using an ice cream scooper helps portion the batter evenly for uniform fritters.
- Feel free to substitute coriander with extra green onions if preferred.
