Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh corn kernels
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 milliliters Coconut milk
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 medium Red chili, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by trimming the kernels off of fresh corn cobs or use frozen corn that has been thawed. Measure out 200 grams of corn kernels.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, almond flour, and baking powder. Stir to mix evenly.
Step 3
Crack the eggs into the bowl and pour in the coconut milk. Mix everything until a batter forms.
Step 4
Add the chopped green onions, red chili, and minced garlic to the batter. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 5
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat.
Step 6
For each fritter, scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter into the hot skillet, shaping it into small patties. You can fry a few fritters at a time, depending on the size of your skillet.
Step 7
Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed.
Step 9
Serve warm as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy your low-carb Bakwan Jagung with a side of chili sauce or your favorite low-carb dip.
