Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Sweet corn kernels (fresh or thawed from frozen)
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Rice flour
- 1 large Egg
- 120 ml Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Red curry paste
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 3 leaves Lime leaves (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 stalk Green onion (thinly sliced)
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and rice flour. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, and sugar until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in the sweet corn kernels, lime leaves, cilantro, and green onion. Mix gently to combine.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat. The oil should reach about 170°C (340°F).
Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil for each fritter, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the fritters for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process for the remaining batter.
Serve the Thai Style Corn Fritters warm with a tangy dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or a lime and soy sauce blend.
