Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh corn kernels
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 20 grams rice flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 100 milliliters water
- 300 milliliters vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, coriander powder, white pepper, and baking powder.
Add the fresh corn kernels, sliced scallions, julienned carrot, and minced garlic to the dry ingredients. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
Slowly add water while stirring to create a thick batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but not too dry.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 170°C (340°F).
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening the tops slightly with the back of the spoon.
Fry the fritters in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve warm as a snack or appetizer. These fritters are delicious on their own or with a side of chili sauce.
