I usually make sweet corn vada whenever I have excess corn. This time I had some zucchini too, so made these easy corn fritters. Instead of deep frying or pan frying I have used appe pan/ paniyarakal to make these corn fritters. By using appe pan you can make very crispy fritters with very less oil.
This corn fritters recipe is fairly simple. You need just 15 minutes to get the mixture ready. If you do not have zucchini you can grated cucumber, cabbage or just corn and onion too. I have used minimum seasoning here. You can increase or change the seasoning as per your taste. As I said above I have used my appe pan for frying these. You can deep fry the fritters too if you wish. One more option would be shallow frying in a pan. Frying corn fritters i appe pan or shallow frying takes more time than deep frying. Since we use less oil, the frying should be done in mediul flame with frequent flipping.
To make corn fritters recipe I have used boiled sweet corn kernels, grated zucchini, onion, green chilli, ginger garlic and cilantro leaves. I have kept the spice level to minimum too. If you wish you can add pepper powder, cumin, chilli powder etc. Some corn flour is added for binding. You can even add gram flour or rice flour instead of corn flour. Do not add water in the veg mixture. Grated zucchini leaves out water and that is enough for mixing and binding. Corn kernels tend to pop up so make sure you stand a feet away while frying. If you are a beginner cook, you can just pulse the boiled corn once and then make corn fritters.
Serve corn fritters immediately after making with tea or coffee.

Is baking soda or powder best for frying? A pinch of baking soda can help produce crispy fried foods. It reacts with the acid in the batter to create carbon dioxide bubbles. These lead to an airy batter and a crisper, fluffier result.
If your oil temperature drops, the fritters will soak up excess oil while cooking, leaving them soggy. Why are my corn fritters falling apart? If using frozen or canned corn, make sure to drain well to eliminate excess moisture. Always spoon and level dry ingredients to make sure your measurements are consistent.
The most common causes for soggy fritters are too much batter (basic flour and egg batter like used in pancakes will never cook up crispy), and whatever you're frittering leeches too much water when cooking.
Baking soda doesn't, but baking powder does. Don't use it in huge quantities, but like, a teaspoon of baking powder to a cup of flour when making a batter will elicit extra crispiness.
They just need a simple, light batter of flour, cornstarch, and baking powder mixed with seltzer to tie them together. The seltzer and baking powder ensure that the fritters are shatteringly crisp–even slightly tired vegetables emerge from the oil crunchy, fresh, and sweet.
A fritter batter is a muffin batter without butter (fat). How does pancake batter fit in? Right in the middle of the two because it use 1/2 part fat, but keeps the other core components the same. These all fall under the quick bread family, which use baking powder or soda as a leavener.
Adding flour to a wetter batter will give you the thick consistency you want. Add crumbled stock cubes for a flavourful kick! Add as little or as much as you like (or none at all), depending on the flavour you want.
As batters go, fritter batter is far to the simplistic side of the spectrum: merely 1 part flour, 1/2 part milk, and 1/2 part egg, mixing up to a relatively thick consistency.
What Is the Difference Between Corn Fritters and Hush Puppies? Though similar in their ingredients, corn fritters are different from hush puppies. Corn fritters feature corn kernels and have a pancake shape, while hush puppies feature a cornmeal batter rolled into balls before frying.
As you're combining all the ingredients for your fritters, go ahead and get the skillet warming up over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. A hot skillet will start cooking the fritters as soon as they hit the pan. That helps sear a crust on each fritter that will hold them together.
Typically, there is more than likely not enough of a binder in the fritter batter mix. Cheese, bread crumbs and eggs all act as binders and will help to hold these vegetable cakes in place. Fritters may also fall apart if you fail to use enough oil, or too much!
It circulates hot air around your food to cook it while giving it a crunchy texture. Depending on the food you're air-frying, little to no oil is necessary, making this method a much healthier alternative to deep frying.
Ingredients. *I have found that rice flour will yield a batter that fries up light and crisp, while cornstarch will yield a batter with firmer crunch. Both are delicious.
To bind fritters, you'll need something that coats the core ingredients and something that holds them together – thick yogurt or sour cream work well, with the help of a little flour.
If you're not serving fried food immediately, you'll need to keep it warm to prevent it from getting cold and losing crispiness. One way to do this is to place the fried food on a wire rack in the oven at a low temperature, around 200°F to 250°F. This will keep the food warm without overcooking it.
When mixed with the flour, the cornstarch makes the flour coating crispier and gives it that golden brown color! (It has to do with prevention of gluten development.) The baking powder reacts with the oil and creates tiny air bubbles, which also helps form a crispy coating.
Baking powder, it turns out, is good for quite a lot more than baking. The slightly alkaline mixture raises the skin's pH levels, which allows proteins to break down more efficiently, giving you crisper, more evenly browned results.
