Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh corn kernels
• 2 medium Shallots
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 2 tbsp Cilantro (optional)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 large Eggs
• 0.5 tsp Ground turmeric
• 0.5 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse half of the corn kernels until coarsely mashed. Transfer them to a mixing bowl and mix with the remaining whole corn kernels for added texture.

Step 2

Finely chop the shallots, garlic, green onion, and cilantro (if using). Add them to the bowl with the corn.

Step 3

Add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, ground turmeric, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to the corn mixture. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 4

Crack the egg into the bowl and mix it into the batter until it holds together. The consistency should be thick but slightly wet. If it's too runny, add a little more flour; if it's too dry, add a tablespoon of water.

Step 5

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You need enough oil to shallow-fry the patties.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of the corn mixture and shape them into patties (about 2 inches in diameter). Flatten them slightly so they cook evenly.

Step 7

Place the patties into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 8

Remove the patties from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. These are delicious with a dipping sauce such as sweet chili sauce or sambal.
