These golden corn fritters are a delightful snack or side dish, packed with flavor and a hint of spice.
Mash the fresh corn lightly in a mixing bowl.
Mashing the corn helps release its natural sweetness and creates a better texture for the batter.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, curry powder, ground coriander, scallions, flour, baking powder, salt, and egg to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Ensure the batter is well mixed to evenly distribute the flavors.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Test the oil temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle immediately.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, flattening slightly to form patties.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Cook for 5-10 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides.
Let the fritters cook thoroughly on one side before flipping to prevent them from falling apart.
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite salsa or dip.
Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lime for added flavor.
