Shocking Corn Fritters- Bakwan Jagung Pedas
I always miss this particular starch + starch snack: Corn fritters aka bakwan jagung. Popular as teatime snack, or you can eat it as a side dish accompanying...ofcourse...rice. Plenty of sweet and crunchy corn kernels in each bite...and the SHOCK factor comes when you bite on pieces of hot chilli (HA-HA-HA !). Prepare a big glass of sweet iced tea /water (not soda, as it highlights heat) & a box of tissue.
This is not a suitable side dish for Valentine's day dinner if you can't stand the heat. If you can, you might impress your date, but then again...he/she might end up dumping you before it all even began. Hmm...or you can simply omit the chilli.
Ingredients
- 1 can of whole kernel corn
- 9 tbsp of plain flour
- 2 tbsp of corn starch
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- finely chopped spring onion, corriander, garlic, red chilli
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mix well, scoop 1 tbsp of concoction into hot oil, fry until golden brown.
If you did put the chilli, dig in, with care.
Thanks for sending me the link to these Rita. Love the "shock" factor.
