Thai Corn Fritters

We made this for entrée along with the salad. This may look similar to my Zucchini & Corn Fritters, but it definitely tastes a lot different. 

I simply love anything with corn. But I think, even the non-corn lovers will like it! 

We use two types of corn here, the American style yellow corn and the Indian aka desi white corn. Its an interesting combination!

So here's the recipe:

Makes 18 - 20 fritters. Preparation Time: 15- 20 mins. Cooking Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

1/2 cup yellow corn kernels, boiled
3/4 cup white corn, raw coarse paste
1 green chilli thinly sliced,
2 tbsp curd (yoghurt)
2 tbsp Thai Red curry paste
2 tbsp coriander, chopped
2 tbsp cornflour
3 tbsp maida
2 tbsp lemon zest
Salt as per taste
Oil for shallow frying

Method:

1. Crush the white corn into a rough paste. Now squeeze out the water from the mixture.

2. Mix in rest of the ingredients into a loose dough. Add salt in the end. Incase if it is too loose, you may add some torn bread to soak up the excess moisture. Alternatively, you may also coat them with bread crumbs.

3. Divide them equally into small flat balls and shallow fry them.

Thats it! Its ready!! Serve with hot & sweet dip or our versatile ketchup! 

I served it with garlic mayonnaise. That went well with it too!

Notes & Tips:

1. If white corn is not available, you can substitute it with yellow corn. Though half crush about half of them. 

2. Please find the recipe for red curry paste here. Alternatively, you can use the ready made paste, easily available in stores stocking international foods.

3. To make it more crispy you can also coat it with some rice flour and proceed with shallow frying.
