Spicy Corn Fritters Recipe Cooking method
Corn fritter recipe Ingredients
Dipping Sauce
• 3/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons red chili pepper flakes
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
Fritters
• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 cups of corn kernels, (see steps for cutting corn from a cob)
cut from 3 large cobs (or frozen corn, defrost and drain first)
• 4 large scallions or green onions, finely sliced (about half a cup)
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• Grapeseed, canola, or peanut oil (a high smoke point oil) for frying
1 Make the dipping sauce by combining all of the sauce ingredients into a small saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium high, let boil for 5-10 minutes or so, until the mixture becomes somewhat syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool. The sauce should continue to thicken as it cools. If it becomes too thick, you can add a little water to it to thin it out a bit.
2 Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground coriander,
and ground cumin in a medium bowl. Add egg, lemon juice and water.
Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add the corn, onions,
and cilantro. Stir until just combined.
3 Heat a large frying pan on medium high heat. Add enough oil to generously
coat the bottom of the pan. When oil is hot (shimmering not smoking),
spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons worth of fritter batter into the
pan to form one fritter, patting it down with the back of the spoon
as soon as it is in the pan. Work in batches. Leave about 1/2 inch
between the fritters in the pan. Let cook about 2-3 minutes on each
side, flipping the fritters when they are nicely browned on one side.
When browned on the other side, remove the fritters to a plate lined
with paper towels to absorb the excess fat.
Add oil as needed to keep the bottom of the pan well coated. Note
that the fritters will likely splatter a bit as you are cooking. So,
either use a screen splatter guard, or wear long sleeved clothes while
you cook.
Makes approximately 16 fritters. Serve immediately with the sweet
chili dipping sauce.
