Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
• 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Rice flour
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cups Coconut milk
• 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
• 2 small Green chilies, finely sliced
• 0.25 cups Cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking powder, sea salt, and ground turmeric. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk the egg and coconut milk until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until a thick batter forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 4

Fold in the fresh corn kernels, chopped shallots, green chilies, and cilantro until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should bubble and float to the surface immediately.

Step 6

Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop about 2 tablespoons of batter into the hot oil for each fritter. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to maintain the oil temperature.

Step 7

Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Repeat the frying process until all the batter is used.

Step 9

Serve the fritters warm with a side of sweet chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
