How to make an Indian Style Baby Corn Fritter Recipe?
Wash the baby corn and cut them vertically into quarters. First, cut them into half and further cut those pieces into another half.
In a large bowl, combine the maida / all purpose flour, corn flour, ginger garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chilli powder, pepper powder, a bit of lemon juice and a little salt.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients to form a smooth, lump-free, batter. Make a thick batter and not a runny one so that the bay corn pieces get coated well.
Dip the baby corn pieces into the smooth batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Dip the battered baby corn pieces in a wide plate of breadcrumbs. Gently coat them in the breadcrumbs. Ensure all sides are evenly coated in breadcrumbs mixture.
Keep all the babycorn pieces ready.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully place the battered baby corn pieces into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the cooked fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
If desired, sprinkle some chaat masala over crispy baby corn fritters before serving them.
Serve the baby corn fritter hot with tomato ketchup, tangy mint chutney or zesty tamarind sauce.
Tips and Suggestions for Perfect Baby Corn Fritters
Feel free to adjust the spice levels of crispy baby corn to suit your preference. You can add more or less of the chili powder according to your taste.
When frying the fritters, ensure the oil is at the right temperature. If the oil is too hot, the fritters may burn on the outside before the inside is cooked through, and if it’s too cool, the fritters may become oily and soggy.
If your maida spice batter gets too runny, add some more flour and spices to adjust the consistency and taste.
Opt for fresh baby corn to ensure the fritters have a tender and sweet flavour.
Serving Suggestions
Serve as an appetizer or snack with your choice of dip. The most preferred are tomato ketchup, sweet chilli sauce, chilli-garlic sauce, mint coriander chutney or a tangy tamarind chutney.
Serve the deep fried baby corn as a side dish alongside a creamy raita and fresh salad for a delightful meal.
You can also serve these golden fried baby corn fritters as a flavorful addition to an Indian-inspired snack platter.
