Thai Corn Fritters (Vegan)

sweet corn (about 3/4 cup of kernels)

tbsp all-purpose flour

tbsp white rice flour

salt

black pepper

tsp grated ginger

garlic

tsp red curry paste

water

Prepare the corn: Using your hands, remove the leaves and the threads from the ear of corn. Trim off each end of the corn and cut the corn into 2-3 pieces.

Use a knife to cut one row of corn kernels. Use your thumb to detach the following rows. They will come very easily. Repeat with the remaining corn pieces.

Add the corn kernels to a clean bowl and cover with water. Stir to clean the corn and strain using a sieve. Rinse a second time.

Prepare the batter: In a small bowl, stir together the flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Add the red curry paste, minced ginger, garlic, and water. Mix using a spoon until it forms a thick batter.

Next, add the drained corn kernels and stir to coat.

Fry: In a deep saucepan, heat the oil until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is hot enough by dipping a wooden spatula or chopstick. If you see bubbles forming around it, the oil is hot.

Using a ¼ measuring cup or large spoon, carefully pour 2-3 tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil.

Fry for 20-30 seconds and flip. Fry for another 30-50 seconds or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon or spatula to remove from oil and transfer it to a plate lined with kitchen paper towels to remove excess oil.

Repeat with the remaining batter and serve the fritters immediately with a dipping sauce like sweet chili sauce!

Wow Thomas 🤩. Am just loving this idea of corn fritters . I have made the usual ones but not the Thai red curry infused one. You are so very creative. I will try this and let you know 😊 - Suba

Thank you for the recipe. I’m not into frying food while my brother is. Yesterday he made some corn fritters for us, using your recipe. And I had to admit it tasted super good. I guess one or two of these from time to time is ok. 😅

This sounds delish, Thomas, and thank you for posting!  Quick question, please?  For those of us who avoid oil and butter, could these be baked instead?  What do you think?

Thai Corn Fritters 'Vegan'! This is what I'm searching for. Thank you for sharing.

(tip - Use a thin spatula, such as a fish spatula, to flip the corn friters. If they are falling apart when you try to flip them, then they aren&#039;t quite ready to flip.)

Repeat with the remaining corn mixture, adding additional coconut oil to the pan as neded.

Serve immediately with optional dipping sauce.

Those fritters were SOO good! They disappeared quickly at family dinner. I topped each fritter with a dollop of spicy sriracha tofu dip and garnished with a Thai basil. Like, they are so good you might as well double the recipe. I was able to make it gluten free using cassava flour.

Has anyone tried this recipe with frozen corn?  I want to try making it in the winter.

These were really yummy and a nice way to switch up a meal. We had them as a side with Thai peanut chicken tacos in bib lettuce. The only thing I would change is not adding the teaspoon of salt but that’s because I’m not a huge salty flavor  fan. I used one can of corn and it was exactly two cups. So good and very inexpensive!
