Thai sweetcorn fritters
Thai sweetcorn fritters
Tools
Ingredients
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 cm slice fresh ginger
lemongrass stalk, outer leaves removed
1 tbsp chopped coriander
1 1 chopped red chilli
2 2 spring onions
340 g canned sweetcorn
1 large egg
2 tbsp plain flour
salt and pepper
Step by step
Place the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, coriander, chilli and spring onions into the bowl of the Cook Processor fitted with the Multibalde and pulse for 5 seconds until roughly chopped.
Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and pulse in 1 second bursts until just evenly mixed.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and grease with a little oil. Spoon a few large tablespoonfuls of the batter into the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side until lightly browned. Serve with a little extra coriander and spring onions.
These are best served fresh so they retain the best texture possible, although they can be reheated in the oven if you want to prepare ahead.
These fritters make a great starter to a Thai meal, serve alongside the Thai Green Curry for a delicious Thai dinner.
If you want to make these like the traditional Thai sweetcorn fritters, with a crisp fried texture, replace the plain flour with rice flour and shallow fry instead.
