2. 2Finely mince the 2 medium shallots and 1 clove garlic.
3. 3In a large bowl, combine the coarsely ground corn, the remaining whole 2 cups of corn kernels, the 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, the 1/4 cup of rice flour, the 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, the minced shallots, the minced garlic, the 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions, the 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, the 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder, the 1/4 teaspoon of coriander powder, the 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
