Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Frozen Corn Kernels
  • 2 medium Eggs
  • 1 medium Red Onion
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • ½ cup Cilantro
  • teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Oil (Vegetable, Corn, Sunflower, or Canola) For frying
  • ½ cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder or granules
  • 1 cup Cucumber Sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
  • ½ cup Red Onion Thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Parsley

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Food Processor
  • Skillet
  • Frying pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Chef's Knife
  • Whisk
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. If using frozen corn, no need to thaw as these can directly go in the batter. Place fresh or frozen corn kernels in a glass bowl.
  2. Place half of the corn in the food processor jug with the rest of the ingredients, and blend to get a coarse mixture.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the rest of the corn, and mix it with a spatula so that the corn kernels are mixed in with the blended mixture (do not overmix the mixture).
  4. Heat the oil in a pan or a cast-iron skillet on medium heat. When the oil is hot, using a cookie scoop, drop the fritter mixture onto the skillet and lightly flatten with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  5. Add 2 more scoops of fritter mixture at a time, slightly spaced. Cook the fritter on medium heat for around 3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown, then flip over and cook for 2 more minutes. Or until corn fritters are golden brown and cooked through. If using frozen corn, it might take 1-2 minutes longer.
  6. Repeat the process 2 more times until all the corn fritter mixture is used up.
  7. Add all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir well to combine.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the lemon dressing.
  9. In a large bowl, add cucumber, parsley, red onions, and lemon dressing. Gently toss to combine.
  10. Divide corn fritters and cucumber parsley salad between the plates/bowls. Spoon the yogurt sauce on the corn fritters or use it as a dip.

Notes

  • Tip 1: You can use fresh, frozen, or canned (drained) sweet corn kernels to make the fritters.
  • Tip 2: Add spices to add more flavor; feel free to add any dried herbs or spices that you like.
  • Tip 3: Only drop the mixture in the pan when the oil is hot for crispy fritters.
  • Tip 4: Do not fry at very high heat; ensure that the fritters cook through.
  • Tip 5: Depending on the size of your pan, fry in batches of 3.
