Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
- 2 medium Shallots
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 2 tbsp Cilantro (optional)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 large Eggs
- 0.5 tsp Ground turmeric
- 0.5 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a food processor, pulse half of the corn kernels until coarsely mashed. Transfer them to a mixing bowl and mix with the remaining whole corn kernels for added texture.
Finely chop the shallots, garlic, green onion, and cilantro (if using). Add them to the bowl with the corn.
Add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, ground turmeric, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to the corn mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix it into the batter until it holds together. The consistency should be thick but slightly wet. If it's too runny, add a little more flour; if it's too dry, add a tablespoon of water.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You need enough oil to shallow-fry the patties.
Using a tablespoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of the corn mixture and shape them into patties (about 2 inches in diameter). Flatten them slightly so they cook evenly.
Place the patties into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the patties from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. These are delicious with a dipping sauce such as sweet chili sauce or sambal.
