Servings: 12

 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 cup flour (see note)

2 cups of corn kernels (about 3 cobs if using fresh corn)

1 large clove garlic, minced

4 large scallions or green onions, finely sliced (about half a cup)

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes

1/2 cup rice vinegar

3/4 teaspoons salt

1/2 cup water

Heat-safe oil for frying (I used coconut oil.)

Equipment:

wooden spoon

sauce pan

bowl

frying pan

paper towels

Cooking instruction summary:

To make the dipping sauce, combine all of the sauce ingredients into a small saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium high, let boil for 10 minutes or so, until the mixture becomes somewhat syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool.Combine flour, baking powder, salt, ground coriander, and ground cumin in a medium bowl. Add egg, lemon juice and water. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add the corn, onions, and cilantro. Stir until just combined.Heat a large frying pan on medium heat. Add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the pan. When oil is hot (shimmering not smoking), spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons worth of fritter batter into the pan to form one fritter, patting it down with the back of the spoon as soon as it is in the pan. Work in batches. Leave about 1/2 inch between the fritters in the pan. Let cook about 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping the fritters when they are nicely browned on one side. When browned on the other side, remove the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess fat.Add oil as needed to keep the bottom of the pan well coated. Note that the fritters will likely splatter a bit as you are cooking. So, either use a screen splatter guard, or wear long sleeved clothes while you cook.Makes approximately 12-16 fritters, depending on how large you make them. Serve immediately with the sweet chili dipping sauce.Nat's Notes:1. The dipping sauce is really spicy. I would maybe start off with 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes and move up if you'd like it spicier.2. The original recipe claimed that the dipping sauce would get thick and syrupy. Mine never has, even after boiling for 10-15 minutes. I've used both white sugar and honey and found both to work well.3. You can play around with the flour in this. I've used regular, whole wheat pastry, and even chickpea flour with great results.4. I use frozen corn when I make this. No, I don't thaw it first.

Food Joke

Four-year-old Jared was eating a hot dog when he dropped it on the floor. He quickly picked it up and was about to take another bite when his mom said, "No, Jared, you can't eat that now it has germs." Jared pondered the thought a moment and replied, "Jesus, germs, and Santa Claus - that's all I ever hear and I haven't seen one of them yet!"
