FRESH CORN BHAJI / FRESH CORN FRITTERS

Crunchy golden corn bhaji !!

Summer is about to end but you can still entertain your taste buds with fresh corn bhaji or fritters. These are quick and easy to make so they work perfectly as an afternoon snack / appetizer when you have company. They are sure to steal the show when you take it to a party !! So let's look at the ingredients, you will need :

4 fresh corn
4 garlic cloves
1 inch piece of ginger
4 green chilies (or acc. to taste)
1 medium red onion chopped
5-6 tbsp gram flour / besan
Salt to taste
handful of coriander chopped
oil for frying

Process :-

1.  Shuck the corn to remove all of the kernels. Keeping half of the kernels aside, crush the other half with ginger, green chilies and garlic cloves. Corn is sweet so I have used 4 green chilies, this will give nice hot and sweet taste to the fritters. You can decrease the amount acc. to your taste.

2.  Heat oil on medium high. Simultaneously add the whole kernels, salt, coriander and gram flour to the crushed corn batter. Gram flour is used for binding the fritters, they will not let the fritters fall apart in hot oil. Mix everything properly.

3.  Use a spoon to drop 2-3 even sized fritters in hot oil depending on the size of your pan. Remember never to overcrowd the pan else fritters will turn oily. Fry them till they turn crunchy and golden brown. Serve with ketchup or they taste yummy just by themselves !!
