Crispy Corn Bhajiya

Ingredients:

• CORN 2 NOS.
• SALT TO TASTE
• RED CHILLI POWDER 1 TSP
• GRAM FLOUR 1 CUP
• WATER AS REQUIRED

Method:

1. To make corn bhajiyas its very important to cut the corn in a certain way, if you use whole corn kernels then the bhajiyas might splutter & lose their shape while frying, so if you get corn kernels from the market then make sure you chop them roughly.
2. Take a whole peeled corn & cut it into two halves, then place the cut side down & cut the corn kernels by moving the knife from top to bottom, similarly cut all the whole corn.
3. Now add the corn kernels in a bowl, add salt & red chilli powder, then add gram flour in batches & mix well.
4. Further add a splash of water & mix it well again until the mixture comes together.
5. To fry the bhajiyas heat the oil until it gets moderately hot or reaches 170 C.
6. Further scoop out small portions of the mixture & drop them in the hot oil carefully, you can dip your hand in cold water before scooping if the mixture sticks to your hand.
7. Fry them over high flame for a minute without stirring them then turn down the flame to medium low & fry until they turn golden brown while stirring at regular intervals.
8. Once fried, transfer them into a sieve so that all the excess oil drips off.
9. Your crispy corn bhajiyas are ready, serve hot with sukhi chutney, fried & salted green chillies & masala chai.

Method:

3. Once your batter is ready, dip your fingers in the batter & drizzle the batter over hot oil in thin streams, once the surface of the oil gets covered, bring the chura to one side of the pan using a spider & pour more batter into the oil similarly.
4. Fry the chura over medium flame until it gets crisp & light golden brown then transfer it into a sieve using a spider so that all the excess oil drips off.
