(tip - Use a thin spatula, such as a fish spatula, to flip the corn friters. If they are falling apart when you try to flip them, then they aren't quite ready to flip.)

THAI CORN FRITTERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Break eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add fish sauce or salt, and soy sauce. Whisk together.
• Add tofu, corn, green onions, coriander, bell pepper, chili, and turmeric. Stir together.
• Mix the baking powder with the flour (this can be done right in your measuring cup). Add this to the wet mixture a little at a time, stirring to form a thick mixture. Taste-test it for salt, adding more fish sauce, or salt if not salty or flavorful enough.
• Heat the oil in a wok or small frying pan over medium-high heat (the oil should be at least 1 inch deep). When bubbles begin to rise from the bottom of the pan, try dropping in a 1/4 tsp. of the mixture. If it sizzles right away, the oil is ready.
• Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture into the oil - each one will be a fritter. Tip: Odd shapes are desirable (see photo). Fry at least 1 minute before disturbing - or until they have a more solid form - then gently turn. Fritters are done when they're golden-brown on both sides. Remove from oil and allow to drain on a clean tea towel or paper towel.
• Serve with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce for dipping. ENJOY! To Make Your Own Dipping Sauce: See our Thai sweet chili sauce homemade recipe .

• Start boiling corn on the cob. Alternately, an equivalent amount of frozen corn can be used in step 5 below.
• Start heating oil in a small cooking pot with the burner set to medium. NOTE: a smaller pot will allow less oil to be used to permit coverage of the fritters. Alternately, other cooking oils can be used.
• Mix masa harina cornflour, baking powder, and 1/2 tablespoon of salt in a mixing bowl.
• Beat egg separately, then add to the dry mix.
• Fold in egg, curry paste, freshly grated ginger, and lime juice until fully blended.
• Cut boiled corn from the cob and blend into the mixture.
• Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of mixture into the oil. Avoid dropping the spoonfuls of mixture to prevent oil spatter. Ideally, a cookie scoop can be used to create uniform fritters.
• The fritters cook quickly in the pan, so watch for browning on the underside. This can happen in a little as 30 seconds.
• Using a fork, carefully turn over the fritters to brown the other side.
• Place completed fritters on a paper towel to remove excess grease.
