Corn Fritters With Fresh Mango Chutney Recipes

CORN FRITTERS WITH FRESH MANGO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Make Mango Chutney: Mix together all ingredients; adjust seasoning with salt and citrus. Makes about 6 cups.
• Make Corn Fritters: Sift the dry ingredients together. Beat the egg yolks, buttermilk and the 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil until blended. Gradually stir in the flour mixture.
• Beat the egg whites until they form stiff white peaks, then fold them into the batter. Gently stir in the corn, onion, jalapenos and cilantro.
• Pour enough oil for deep-frying into a cast-iron skillet or wok. Heat to 375 degrees.
• Carefully drop the batter by the tablespoonful into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once. As each fritter is done, remove it from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels.
• Serve the fritters hot with the chutney.

SPICY CORN PAKORAS WITH MANGO-TAMARIND CHUTNEY

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, baking powder and turmeric.
• In a food processor, grind corn kernels to a rough purée. Add purée to flour mixture and stir well to make a stiff batter.
• Put ghee in a small pan over medium-high heat. Add cumin, fennel and mustard seeds. When seeds are lightly toasted and begin to pop, pour mixture into the batter. Add chile, scallions, cilantro and ginger, and stir well. (Batter may be prepared several hours in advance.)
• Pour vegetable oil into a cast-iron skillet to a depth of 1 inch. Heat on medium-high until oil looks wavy. Using two large soup spoons, carefully slip morsels of batter into the oil, working in batches if necessary. Adjust the heat so pakoras brown gently on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn pakoras and brown on other side, about 2 minutes more. Remove with a slotted spoon or spatula and blot on paper towels. Serve hot with lime wedges and mango-tamarind chutney, or another chutney if desired.

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Working in two batches, drop batter into pan by heaping tablespoons. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt; place in oven. Repeat. Keep warm in oven up to 30 minutes. Serve with sour cream, if desired.

EASY FRESH CORN FRITTERS

• Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
• Mix corn, egg yolks, flour, salt, and red pepper together in a large bowl; fold beaten egg whites into the corn mixture.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, drop corn mixture into hot oil by the tablespoonful in several spots without crowding the pan; cook until browned and set, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.
