Corn fritters recipe with step by step photos. Corn fritters recipe or sweet corn fritters recipe is a popular snack around the globe. Usually eggs are used in making corn fritters. Corn fritters recipe I am sharing today is more of Indian version.
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.
Baking soda (bi-carb) OR baking powder – just a touch, to aerate the batter every so slightly (without it, it's slightly denser); Parmesan – for a good hit of savoury flavour AND to make the fritters extra crispy!
You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of fritter batter into it. If it sizzles and starts cooking immediately, it's ready to go! Also make sure to use enough oil. If there isn't enough oil to fully submerge the fritters, they won't cook evenly and won't crisp up.
The main difference is that the fritter batter needs to be thicker than the pancake batter as it is has to form a light, crisp covering for various foods that are going to be deep-fried.
Add flour to your wet batter! Large veggies have a high water content (which we know equals soggy fritters). But don't stress! Adding flour to a wetter batter will give you the thick consistency you want.
Not squeezing out as much moisture as possible will result in mushy fritters that fall apart. So give the zuc a good 'ol squeeze before tossing it in the batter.
Using cornmeal instead of flour or bread crumbs keeps these zucchini fritters gluten free. Cornstarch: Helps to thicken up the mixture, while also soaking up some liquid. Baking Powder: Provides a little lift when cooking, so the fritters aren't super flat.
Rice flour and cornstarch work particularly well because they fry up crispier than wheat flour. They also absorb less moisture and fat during the frying process, making the products less greasy. This is why rice flour is often used when making tempura because it produces a very thin and crispy, dry crust.
Baking soda changes the texture of baked goods by causing a batter or dough to spread, while baking powder produces light, fluffy texture. Some recipes may call for baking soda or baking powder on their own, while others may require both ingredients to create the ideal balance for great texture.
Overmixing can cause the fritter to be gummy and tough. Only mix as much as you need to. I recommend skipping a mixer and doing this by hand to avoid overmixing. Use a cookie scoop.
A 2021 review found that sodium bicarbonate may help slow the decline of kidney function and significantly improve vascular endothelial function (blood flow) in people with CKD.
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.
The best way to keep fried foods crispy? Just place them on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. If you're frying multiple batches, throw the whole setup into a low oven to keep everything warm as you keep frying and adding to the rack.
If your zucchini fritters are falling apart, it's likely because the fritters are sticking to the skillet or the batter was too wet. Getting the zucchini dry before preparing the batter so the binding agents can hold the fritter together. If you have a non-stick frying pan, opt for that as well.
fritter, any of various types of fried foods, generally consisting of small pieces of meat, vegetables, fruit, or dough. Plain fritters are deep-fried cakes of chou paste or a yeast dough. In another type, bits of meat, seafood, vegetables, or fruit are coated with batter and deep-fried.
In America, fritters are usually made like doughnuts, with a primary ingredient (like apple) mixed into an egg, flour, and milk batter. The doughnut-like fritters may be deep-fried or pan-fried.
“Tempura” is similar to fritter in the sense that it is fried in oil, but in actuality it is close to steamed food. Fritters are cooked thoroughly via the oil's temperature. But, tempura coated in flour is instantaneously heated with a high temperature oil, with their inherent water content, and with residual heat.
A spam fritter is a slice of Spam fried in batter. Commonly eaten with chips and mushy peas, spam fritters are served in fish and chip shops and burger bars in the UK. They were first introduced during World War II due to fish being unavailable.
