INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup sweet corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for a gluten-free option)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 3/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 green chili, sliced (adjust for spice)
- Oil for frying
- Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley), chopped
METHOD
- Prepare the Zucchini:
Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. - Mix the Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine sweet corn, grated zucchini, flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, Kashmiri chili powder, cumin, melted butter, chopped herbs, and green chili. Mix well. Gradually add water until the mixture holds together but is thick, not runny. - Heat the Oil:
In a pan over medium heat, heat enough oil for shallow frying. - Fry the Fritters:
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. - Serve: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney, and enjoy!
