Corn nuggets / corn fritters

Corn nuggets / corn fritters

This is a snack that will impress every one!!! None of your guests will believe you spent just 15 minutes to get this to table… and surely it will disappear in even lesser time. The best thing is you can decide the fat content by choosing to deep fry or pan-fry. Of course the deep fried ones are crunchier but the pan-fried ones also taste very good.

Let the corn kernels come to room temperature. You can start with frozen ones too but then cooking time will be more. Combine the flours, salt, sugar and pepper in a small bowl.  Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites with an electric mix over high speed till stiff peaks form. Set aside. Beat the egg yolks at high speed for about 5 minutes. Add corn, salt, sugar, pepper and both the flours into the beaten yolk and stir to combine. Fold in the egg whites taking care not to deflate it. Now decide if you are deep frying or pan-frying. I divided the batter and did both, this time.

Immediately start cooking. Heat oil in a wok and add spoonful of batter and fry till golden. For shallow frying, heat a cast iron skillet to medium high heat. Pour a tablespoon vegetable oil and spread. Make small pancakes with one tablespoon batter each. Flip to cook the other side as well. Serve with tomato ketchup.

Serve with tomato ketchup or hot sauce or any condiment of your choice!!!
