Warm, vibrant golden-brown fritters dotted with green specks of scallion, arranged elegantly on a trendy slate serving tray. A small side-dish of bright red chili dipping sauce is placed next to the fritters, garnished with a fresh scallion fan. A lime wedge perched slightly on top of the fritters brings a pop of citrusy color to the setting.

This recipe is a twist on the traditional Thai corn fritter, packed with fresh scallions to add a pop of color and a mild oniony flavor that balances the sweetness of corn.

Ingredients (for 2)

Scallions - 6 - finely chopped
Sweet corn kernels - 1 cup - fresh or canned
Red chili - 1 - deseeded and finely chopped
Smashed garlic - 2 cloves

Coconut milk - 1/4 cup
Lime - 1 - wedge
Thai sweet chili sauce - to serve

Preparation

Step 1 - 🌽🥣🥚

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sweet corn kernels, 6 finely chopped scallions, 1 deseeded and finely chopped red chili, 2 cloves of smashed garlic, 1/2 cup of organic unbleached flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, a beaten egg (or vegan egg substitute), and a pinch of salt. Stir to create a well-combined batter.
Step 2 - 🍳🔥🥄

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once heated, drop tablespoons of batter into the hot oil. Fry each side of the fritters for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.
