Ingredients

Fritters

  • 2 cups Fresh Corn Kernels
  • ⅓ cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 3 Green Onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 Egg
  • 3 tbsp Canned Coconut Milk
  • 2 tsp Ginger, finely minced or ginger paste
  • 1 tsp Garlic Chili Sauce
  • 1 tsp Red Curry Paste (optional)
  • ⅓ cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil, for frying

Dipping Sauce

  • 3 tbsp Sour Cream
  • 3 tbsp Canned Coconut Milk

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, egg, coconut milk, minced ginger, garlic chili sauce, and optional red curry paste. Stir just until everything is evenly mixed.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder to the bowl. Stir gently to fully incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, forming the fritter batter.
  3. Heat Oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering and hot enough for frying.
  4. Form and Cook Fritters: Spoon about ¼ cup of the corn mixture onto the skillet per fritter and flatten each slightly to form a round patty approximately ½ inch thick.
  5. Cook Until Golden: Cook the fritters for about 2 minutes on the first side until golden brown. Carefully flip with a thin spatula and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side until cooked through and golden.
  6. Repeat Frying: Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed to prevent sticking and ensure a crispy exterior.
  7. Prepare Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and coconut milk together until smooth and creamy to serve alongside the fritters.
  8. Serve: Serve the Thai corn fritters immediately while hot with the coconut sour cream dipping sauce for a delicious snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Use a thin spatula like a fish spatula for flipping to prevent fritters from breaking.
  • If fritters fall apart when flipping, allow more cooking time on the first side to set.
  • Red curry paste is optional but adds authentic Thai flavor.
  • Fresh corn kernels yield the best texture, but frozen can be substituted if thawed well.
  • For a vegan version, substitute the egg with flax egg and use a plant-based sour cream.
