Healthy Corn Fritters Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 Cup sweet corn kernels
• 1/2 Cup Sorghum flour (jowar atta)
• 1 tablespoon flaxseeds powder
• 1 tablespoon corn flour (corn starch)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder (jeera powder)
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 sprig green onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 Cup milk
• oil to cook the fritters
• water to make the batter

Instructions

1. 1

   If using fresh corn on cob, cut the corn kernels off the cob. Collect the kernels in a bowl.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, flaxmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, chilli powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in small quantity of milk. Stir gently. You want a thick, scoopable batter that holds together. If it feels too dry, add a splash of water a tablespoon at a time.

3. 3

   Take about ¼ cup of your corn kernels and gently crush them in a blender before adding them to the batter. This releases the natural corn milks and starches, acting as an extra internal binder!

4. 4

   Add the corns, green onions into the flour mixture, coating them thoroughly. Let the batter rest for 5 – 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drop ¼-cup scoops of batter into the pan and gently flatten them with the back of your spatula.

6. 6

   Cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is a deep golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

7. 7

   Healthy Corn Fritters are ready to serve.
