How to make the recipe
Preparation
To make sweet corn pakoda, you can use corn on the cob or frozen corn.
If using corn on the cob, boil them until soft. Scrape off the corn from the cob with a knife. If using frozen corn, just rinse them and drain very well. Make sure there is no moisture.
Pulse them coarsely few times in a mixer jar or food processor. The mixture has to be coarse.
Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients except oil and mix. Adjust salt as needed.
How to make Corn Pakoda
Heat oil in a deep pan for frying.
Check if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small portion of the mixture. The dough has to sizzle and rise without browning quickly.
Drop small portions of this mixture to the hot oil. Do not disturb them for a few minutes.
Fry until golden on a medium heat, stirring often.
Remove to a cooling rack or a steel colander. Serve sweet corn pakoda hot or warm with Masala Chai or with Chutney of choice.
