Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh corn kernels
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 15 grams Rice flour
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 1 small Red chili
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- as needed Vegetable oil cooking spray
Instructions
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Thinly slice the scallions including both white and green parts.
De-seed and finely chop the red chili.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels, chopped garlic, scallions, and red chili.
Add the all-purpose flour, rice flour, coriander powder, salt, black pepper, and baking powder to the corn mixture, and mix well.
Whisk the egg whites until frothy, then pour them into the corn mixture to form a batter. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat it lightly with vegetable oil cooking spray.
For each fritter, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the skillet, flattening it slightly with the back of the spoon.
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve warm.
