Ingredients

• 300 grams Sweet corn kernels (fresh or thawed from frozen)
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Rice flour
• 1 large Egg
• 120 ml Coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon Red curry paste
• 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 3 leaves Lime leaves (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 stalk Green onion (thinly sliced)
• 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and rice flour. Stir to combine.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut milk, red curry paste, fish sauce, and sugar until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.

Step 4

Fold in the sweet corn kernels, lime leaves, cilantro, and green onion. Mix gently to combine.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat. The oil should reach about 170°C (340°F).

Step 6

Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil for each fritter, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Fry the fritters for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the fritters from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the frying process for the remaining batter.

Step 10

Serve the Thai Style Corn Fritters warm with a tangy dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or a lime and soy sauce blend.
