Ramadan Special Snack- Crispy Fried Corn

Ramadan Special Snack- Crispy Fried Corn

A snack that requires a bit of patience but is so unique and exciting that you will thoroughly enjoy the results of your effort!

Unlike most dishes that make use of boiled or crushed sweet corn, here the kernels are deep-fried till absolutely crisp, and then tossed with flavour-givers like ginger, garlic, spring onions and Schezuan sauce to get really scrumptious Crispy Fried Corn.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp plain flour (maida)
• 4 tbsp cornflour
• salt and freshly ground black pepper (kalimirch) to taste

Method
Combine the corn, plain flour, cornflour, salt, pepper and 1 tbsp of water in a deep bowl and mix well.

Heat the oil in a deep non-stick kadhai, and deep-fry the corn in 2 batches till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper and keep aside.

Heat the oil in a broad non-stick pan, add the garlic, ginger and green chillies and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
