Ingredients
- 250 grams sweet corn kernels (fresh or canned)
- 60 grams gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 30 grams rice flour
- 2 medium shallots, finely chopped
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red chili, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 60 milliliters water
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, chopped shallots, minced garlic, sliced green onion, and optional finely chopped red chili.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the egg and water to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter over the corn mixture and gently fold until the ingredients are well combined.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 170°C (340°F).
Spoon the corn mixture into the hot oil, using about 2 tablespoons per fritter, and flatten slightly with the back of the spoon.
Fry the fritters in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the Gluten-Free Bakwan Jagung warm, garnished with additional sliced green onion or chili if desired.
