Corn Pakoda (Indian Corn Pakoras)

Step 1

To make sweet corn pakoda, you can use corn on the cob or frozen corn.

Step 2

If using corn on the cob, boil them until soft. Scrape off the corn from the cob with a knife. If using frozen corn, just rinse them and drain very well. Make sure there is no moisture.

Step 3

Pulse them coarsely few times in a mixer jar or food processor. The mixture has to be coarse.

Step 4

Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients except oil and mix. Adjust salt as needed.

Step 5

Heat oil in a deep pan for frying.

Step 6

Check if the oil is hot enough by dropping  a small portion of the mixture. The dough has to sizzle and rise without browning quickly.

Step 7

Drop small portions of this mixture to the hot oil. Do not disturb them for a few minutes.

Step 8

Fry until golden on a medium heat, stirring often.

Step 9

Remove to a cooling rack or a steel colander. Serve sweet corn pakoda hot or warm with Masala Chai or with Chutney of choice.
