Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 corn cobbs
  • 1/2 Red Chilli
  • 2 Spring onion finely chopped
  • 180 g SR flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 45 g soy sauce
  • Oil for shallow frying
  • Lettuce for lettuce cups & mint leaves for wrapping
  • Spicy plum jam or sauce

Instructions

Method

  1. Cook your fresh corn on the cob and allow it to cool a little before slicing off the fresh corn kernels into a bowl. 

  2. I blitz the red chilli in the food processor and then add 3/4 of the corn and process until it is made it into a smooth (but not fine) paste.

  3. Then add the rest of the corn and also blitz this but leave it with a little texture. This makes for a nice textured fritter. 

  4. Pour your corn mixture into a bowl and add in the soy, flour, lightly beaten eggs and finely chopped spring onion.  

  5. Shallow fry spoonfuls of the fritter mixture in vegetable oil or olive oil. You need to cook it on both sides and be sure that the flour has been cooked through.

  6. Wrap in lettuce, pop on a mint leaf and dab on some jam. That's if they make it out of the pan and to the table before you eat them,

Recipe Notes

The end result is delicious and lighter than you think. Although when shallow frying you really have to make sure you cook out that flour :-).
