Crispy and tasty corn pakoras are perfect as an evening snack, as a starter or with chai on a rainy day! The flavour of ginger and green chilli perfectly complement the sweetness of corn in this irresistible snack.
Corn is such a handy thing to have in your kitchen. It gives you endless options.... you can use it in pastas, curries, soup or snacks. Wondering what to make with some corn I had lying in the fridge I thought of this recipe which I hadn't made for some time. Came out so good that I am definitely making it again, soon.
Ingredients:
1 cup sweet corn
1 small onion
1/2 inch ginger
1 green chilli
Salt to taste
1 tbsp gram flour ( besan)
1 tsp rice flour
1tsp cornflour
1/2 tsp cumin ( jeera)
1 tbsp coriander leaves
Oil for deep frying
Method: Finely chop the onion, ginger and green chilli. Also chop the green coriander leaves. Grind the sweet corn coarsely in mixer.
In a bowl mix the coarsely ground sweet corn, onion, ginger, green chilli and coriander leaves. Add cumin and salt. Sprinkle the gram flour, rice flour and cornflour over this mixture. Do not add any water as the moisture from the corn will be sufficient to bind everything together. Shape small round balls.
Heat sufficient oil in a heavy bottom pan. Drop one pakora into the oil to check. If it retains it's shape, sizzles and comes to the surface then the temperature is right. Fry the pakoras over medium heat till golden brown. Remove on an absorbent paper. Serve hot.
