Corn frizzlers Recipe

Corn Frizzlers are a fun and crispy snack made with sweet corn, spices, and batter, deep-fried to perfection. They are similar to corn fritters but are thinner, crispier, and often shaped into small sticks or flat, frizzled bites. These make a great appetizer or snack, especially when served with dipping sauces like ketchup, chili sauce, or a tangy yogurt dip.

Corn Frizzlers Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornmeal (optional, for extra crispiness)
• 1 tbsp rice flour (optional, for extra crunch)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp red chili powder (or paprika)
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
• 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
• 1/4 cup water (or as needed to make a thick batter)
• Salt, to taste
• Oil, for deep-frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal (if using), rice flour, baking powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garlic powder, and salt.
   • Slowly add water and mix to form a thick, lump-free batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the corn kernels without being too runny.
2. Add the Corn and Flavorings:
   • Fold the sweet corn kernels, chopped green chilies, and fresh coriander into the batter. Mix well so the corn is evenly coated with the batter.
3. Heat the Oil:
   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
4. Fry the Frizzlers:
   • Using a spoon or your fingers, carefully drop small portions of the corn batter into the hot oil. You can shape them into frizzled shapes or small rounds.
   • Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Flip halfway through to ensure even frying.
5. Drain and Serve:
   • Once golden and crispy, remove the corn frizzlers from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
6. Serve Hot:
   • Serve the corn frizzlers hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, mint chutney, or a tangy yogurt dip.

Tips:

• Crispier Frizzlers: Add a little more rice flour or cornmeal for extra crunch.
• Flavor Variations: You can add grated cheese, onions, or bell peppers to the batter for added flavor and texture.
• Serving Idea: These frizzlers pair well with a tangy tomato-based or spicy mayo dip.

Corn Frizzlers are a delightful snack with a crispy outer layer and sweet corn inside, perfect for a party or tea-time snack!
