Mosa (Fermented Corn Fritters)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Corn Kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup Cooked Rice
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Yeast
• 1/4 cup Warm Water
• 2 cups Vegetable Oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. 1If you are using 2 cups of frozen corn kernels, let them thaw completely. Place the 2 cups of corn kernels and the 1/2 cup of cooked rice into a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth.
2. 2In a separate small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of warm water and the 1/2 teaspoon of yeast. Stir gently and let this mixture sit for 5 minutes until it looks a little foamy.
3. 3Pour the yeast mixture into the blender with the corn and rice. Add the 1/4 cup of sugar. Mix everything together until well combined. Cover the bowl and leave it in a warm place to ferment for 4 to 6 hours, or until the next morning.
4. 4Pour the 2 cups of vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or a deep fryer. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a tiny bit of batter in; it should sizzle immediately.
5. 5Carefully drop rounded spoonfuls of the fermented batter into the hot 2 cups of vegetable oil. Fry the fritters for about 3 to 5 minutes, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon, until they are golden brown on all sides and sound crispy.
6. 6Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked fritters from the hot oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the Mosa warm.
