MONSOON SPECIAL ‘CRISPY CORN’

A RAINY DAY IS PERFECT TIME FOR A CUP OF MASALA CHAI ALONG WITH SOME CRISPY SNACK.

When the season changes our carvings are also change accordingly. Like in summers we like to it eat light food i.e., juices, salad, fruits and ice-cream too. However as we all know that the monsoon is beginning right now, so we like to have some hot and crispy pakoda’s, a chaat, or some starters with a cup of tea or coffee.

So, in this rainy season, I’m trying to make some crispy corn in the restaurant style.

And eventually it comes out pretty well and everyone enjoy it. So here I’m sharing a simple and quick recipe for that.

HERE IS A RECIPE VIDEO

INGREDIENTS

Sweet corn – 1-1/2 cup

Water – for boiling

Corn flour – 2tbsp

All-purpose flour – 2tbsp

Poha(flat rice) flour – 1tbsp

Plain salt – 1tbsp

Black salt – 1/2tsp

Red chili powder – 1/2tsp

Chaat masala -1tsp

Curry leaf powder – 1tsp

Lemon juice – 1/2 lemon

Coriander – 3-4 tbsp chopped

Oil – for frying

STEP BY STEP RECIPE

  1. Boil the corn first for 8-10 min.
  2. Now strain it and spread it on kitchen cloth and let it cool down.
  3. In the meantime, heat oil for frying.
  4. Now pour the boiled and dried sweet corn in a mixing bowl.
  5. Add 1/2 tsp of plain salt and black pepper powder and mix it well.
  6. Now add corn flour and all-purpose flour and coat all the sweet corns well.
  7. Add flat rice or poha flour to make crispy.
  8.  Now fry them in medium-hot oil.
  9.  Fry until it floats on the surface of the plate.
  10. While frying, be alert, some corn may pop out on working station, in this case, just cover it with a lid.
  11.  Place them in a tissue paper after frying, so that extra oil leaves.
  12. Now make it spicy, for that take a mixing bowl and add fried corn kernels. And mix all the spices along with coriander and lime juice. Give it a good mix.

TIPS AND TRICKS

  1. I use poha flour to make it more crispy if you don’t have it, then you can use rice flour.
  2. For poha or flay rice flour, first I dry roast it and then grind it finely in mixer, then sieve it.
  3.  I make it simple, but if you like that, you can make variations. Like you could toss this fried corn in garlic tadka, or you could just have it with some sort of mayonnaise.
