Equipment

Ingredients

  • Oil for deep frying
  • 2 cups Fresh corn kernels 3 ears
  • 1 Medium onion chopped
  • 1 Jalapeno seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
  • ¾ cup Garbanzo chickpea flour
  • 2 tablespoon White rice flour
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Curry powder
  • ¾ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garam Masala
  • ½ cup Water

Instructions

  • Start heating your oil to 350F – you’ll want at least 2-3″ of oil in your pot or deep fryer.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together corn, onion, jalapeno, and ginger garlic paste. Add flours, spices, and salt, stirring well to coat the vegetables.
  • Add water, stirring well to form a thick batter. Allow batter to sit for 5 minutes or so, to soften the bean flour.
  • Use two spoons to carefully scoop small amounts (2 tablespoon or less) of batter into the preheated oil.
  • Fry for a few minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy
  • Use a slotted metal spoon to transfer fried fritters to paper towels to drain.
  • Serve hot, with cilantro-mint chutney.
