Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh corn kernels
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 20 grams rice flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 100 milliliters water
- 300 milliliters vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, coriander powder, white pepper, and baking powder.
Step 2
Add the fresh corn kernels, sliced scallions, julienned carrot, and minced garlic to the dry ingredients. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Step 3
Crack the egg into the bowl and mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
Step 4
Slowly add water while stirring to create a thick batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but not too dry.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 170°C (340°F).
Step 6
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening the tops slightly with the back of the spoon.
Step 7
Fry the fritters in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove the fritters from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm as a snack or appetizer. These fritters are delicious on their own or with a side of chili sauce.
