Ingredients

  • 2 cups Corn Kernels
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Rice Flour
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 stalks Green Onions
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 medium Shallot
  • 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Coriander Powder
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 2 cups Vegetable Oil

Instructions

  1. 1Finely chop the 2 stalks of green onions. Finely mince the 2 cloves of garlic. Finely mince the 1 medium shallot.
  2. 2In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups of corn kernels, the chopped green onions, the minced garlic, and the minced shallot.
  3. 3Add the 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, the 1/4 cup of rice flour, the 1 large egg, the 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and the 1/4 teaspoon of coriander powder to the bowl. Mix everything together.
  4. 4Gradually add the 1/4 cup of water to the mixture, stirring continuously until you have a thick batter. It should be thick enough to hold its shape when spooned.
  5. 5Pour the 2 cups of vegetable oil into a wok or a large, deep frying pan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  6. 6Carefully spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil for each fritter, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, until the fritters are golden brown and crispy. You will hear a gentle sizzle as they cook.
  7. 7Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. 8Serve the Bakwan Jagung hot.
