Thai Sweetcorn Fritters Recipes

THAI CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn, cilantro, green onion, egg, coconut milk, ginger, garlic chili paste, and curry paste. Stir just unitl combined.
• To the bowl, add the flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Stir to combine.
• Heat 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. once hot, ¼ cup of the corn mixture to the skillet, then flatten the top slightly to form a round circle that is about ½ inch thick.
• Allow the corn fritter to cook for about 2 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side. (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.)
• Repeat with the remaining corn mixture, adding additional coconut oil to the pan as neded.
• Serve immediately with optional dipping sauce.

SWEETCORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix the flour, baking powder, paprika and milk together in a large bowl. Mix in the egg, followed by the sweetcorn, chopped spring onions, chives, parsley, 1 tsp salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
• Heat a 1cm depth of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat until a small amount of the fritter mixture sizzles when dropped in. For larger fritters, drop 2 heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the pan at a time in a clockwise direction (this will help you remember the order they were added to the pan, so you can flip them at the right stage). For smaller fritters, do the same, but with 1 heaped tablespoon of mixture at a time.
• After 2 mins, flip the fritters over in the same order they were added to the pan. Cook for another 2 mins, continuing to turn every now and then to ensure both sides are evenly golden brown. When ready, the fritters should be darker brown with crispy pieces of corn at the edges - be careful, as some of the kernels may burst during the cooking process. Remove to a wire rack and pat away any excess oil using kitchen paper. Serve straightaway with a few strips of spring onion scattered over, if you like.
