Sweetcorn Recipe #1
Sweetcorn Fritters - thai Style |

Method |
- Mix together the flour, salt, chilli, ginger, cumin and egg(s) to form a batter.
- If using fresh corn cobs, remove the outer leaves and the hairy bits! Then boil / steam in boiling water for 5 minutes, until starting to soften. Then cool well before slicing the corn from the cob with a sharp knife.
- If using frozen sweetcorn, soak in boiling water for a couple of minutes until defrosted.
- Mix the sweetcorn with the batter.
- Heat the oil in a wok or deep fat fryer until it reaches 180 degrees C.
- Put a heaped tablespoon of the sweetcorn batter in the wok. Continue until the wok is full - one layer deep.
- Cook for 2 minutes Turn the fritters. Continue to cook until the fritters are lightly browned.
- Keep the fritters warm in a 100 deg C oven until all are cooked.
Serve with sweet chilli sauce as a dip.
