Corn pakora is a popular Indian snack or appetizer made with sweet corn kernels, spices, and herbs. It is a quick and easy dish to make, and is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sweet corn kernels
• 1/2 cup besan (gram flour)
• 1/4 cup rice flour
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/4 teaspoon hing (asafoetida)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 green chili, chopped
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, besan, rice flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, cumin seeds, coriander powder, hing, salt, cilantro, and green chili. Mix well.
2. Add enough water to make a thick batter.
3. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy.
5. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
6. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or dip.

Tips:

• You can also add other vegetables to the batter, such as onions, carrots, or potatoes.
• To make the pakora extra crispy, you can double-fry them.
• Corn pakora can be served as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.

Enjoy!

Here are some additional tips for making corn pakora:

• Use fresh sweet corn kernels for the best flavor. If you are using frozen corn kernels, thaw them completely before using.
• Do not overmix the batter, as this will make the pakora tough.
• To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and comes up immediately, the oil is hot enough.
• Fry the pakora in batches so that they do not overcrowd the pan.
• Serve the pakora hot with your favorite chutney or dip.
