Author: Akshayakumbham
Course: Evening snacks
Cuisine: Indian
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
Maize/corn on the cob: 1 no. (Or 1 bowl of corn kernels)
All purpose flour: Half tbsp
Corn flour: Half tbsp
Red chilli powder: Half tsp
Pav bhaji masala: Half tsp
(Or chat masala)
Black pepper: one fourth tsp
Salt: As required
Oil: For deep frying(Approximately 6 tbsp)
Onion: 1 no. (Small)
Green chilli: 1 no.
Coriander leaves: few.
Method of preparation:
1. To prepare crispy corn kernels, I’ve used American sweet corn. They are juicy with sweet taste.
2. Remove the husk of the corn on the cob.
3. Now separate corn kernels from the cob using a knife.
4. Transfer the corn kernels into a bowl.
5. Now add all purpose flour, corn flour and other spices mentioned in the ingredients. Add required amount of salt and mix thoroughly. No need to add water. The natural moisture present in the corn helps to bind the spices.
6. Now heat kadai, pour oil for deep frying. Now fry the corn kernels for 3 or 4 minutes till they change into golden brown colour.
7. Transfer them onto a plate containing kitchen paper towel to absorb excess oil.
8. Likewise deep fry the remaining corn kernels.
9. Now heat a pan, pour half tsp of oil, put chopped onion, finely chopped green chillies and coriander leaves. Just sauté them for a minute.
10. Now add fried corn kernels to this mixture and mix thoroughly.
11. Switch off the flame and transfer the fried corn kernels onto a serving plate.
12. Now the amazing crispy corn kernels are ready to serve hot.
