SPICY CORN FRITTERS



SPICY CORN FRITTERS image

Categories     Corn

Yield 16 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 19

Dipping Sauce
• 3/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons red chili pepper flakes
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
Fritters
• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 cups of corn kernels cut from 3 large cobs (or frozen corn, defrost and drain first)
• 4 large scallions or green onions, finely sliced (about half a cup)
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• Canola or peanut oil (a high smoke point oil) for frying

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce by combining all of the sauce ingredients into a small saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium high, let boil for 5-10 minutes or so, until the mixture becomes somewhat syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool. The sauce should continue to thicken as it cools. If it becomes too thick, you can add a little water to it to thin it out a bit. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground coriander, and ground cumin in a medium bowl. Add egg, lemon juice and water. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add the corn, onions, and cilantro. Stir until just combined. Heat a large frying pan on medium high heat. Add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the pan. When oil is hot (shimmering not smoking), spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons worth of fritter batter into the pan to form one fritter, patting it down with the back of the spoon as soon as it is in the pan. Work in batches. Leave about 1/2 inch between the fritters in the pan. Let cook about 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping the fritters when they are nicely browned on one side. When browned on the other side, remove the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess fat. Add oil as needed to keep the bottom of the pan well coated. Note that the fritters will likely splatter a bit as you are cooking. So, either use a screen splatter guard, or wear long sleeved clothes while you cook. Makes approximately 16 fritters. Serve immediately with the sweet chili dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn will give your fritters the best flavor. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your fritters tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes will allow the flour to absorb the liquid and make the fritters more tender.
  • Use a hot skillet: A hot skillet will help the fritters cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Serve immediately: Corn fritters are best served hot out of the skillet. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Spicy corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these fritters in no time. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give this recipe a try!
