Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Rice flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cups Coconut milk
- 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
- 2 small Green chilies, finely sliced
- 0.25 cups Cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking powder, sea salt, and ground turmeric. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
In another bowl, whisk the egg and coconut milk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the fresh corn kernels, chopped shallots, green chilies, and cilantro until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should bubble and float to the surface immediately.
Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop about 2 tablespoons of batter into the hot oil for each fritter. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to maintain the oil temperature.
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process until all the batter is used.
Serve the fritters warm with a side of sweet chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
