SOURCE

Ingredients:

2 cups fresh corn kernels (frozen or canned corn can also be used)
1 cup gram flour (besan)
2 tablespoons rice flour
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
A pinch of asafoetida (hing)
Salt to taste
Water (as needed)
Oil for deep frying


Instructions:

Prepare the Corn:

If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen or canned corn, ensure they are well-drained.


Prepare the Batter:

In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, asafoetida, and salt.
Gradually add water while whisking the mixture to form a smooth, lump-free batter with a thick consistency.


Coat the Corn:

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Dip each corn kernel into the batter, ensuring it's well-coated. Shake off excess batter before frying.


Deep Fry:

Carefully drop the coated corn kernels into the hot oil, a few at a time.
Fry until the Corn Bhajjis turn golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.


Serve Hot:

Repeat the process until all corn kernels are fried.
Serve the Corn Bhajji hot with mint chutney or a tangy tamarind sauce.


Tips and Variations:

Add a dash of chaat masala or amchur (dry mango powder) for an extra burst of flavor.
Experiment with different spices or herbs, such as coriander powder or chopped cilantro, for a unique twist.
Serve with a side of yogurt or a refreshing cucumber raita to balance the spiciness.
