Crispy Baby Corn Fritters
A family recipe since August 2007
Crunchy, spiced baby corn coated in a chickpea batter and deep-fried until golden — a quick 15-minute snack that’s perfect for parties or a savory weekday treat.
Ingredients
- Baby corn - 10 whole
- Egg - 1 whole
- Red chili powder - 1 1/2 tsp
- Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
- Fennel seed powder - 1/2 tsp
- Besan (chickpea flour) - 1 cup
- Salt, to taste
- Coconut oil
Instructions
- 1Slit the baby corn a few times so the batter can cling to each piece.
- 2Beat the egg in a large bowl, then whisk in besan, 1 1/2 tsp red chili powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp fennel seed powder and salt to taste until you have a medium-thick batter; add a little water if needed to reach the right consistency.
- 3Toss the baby corn into the batter with a little coconut oil so each piece is well coated, then let them rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to mingle.
- 4Heat enough coconut oil in a deep pan for deep frying until it is hot and shimmering.
- 5Fry the battered baby corn in batches, turning occasionally, until each piece is golden brown and crisp.
- 6Drain the fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil and serve hot with chili or tomato sauce as desired.

Hi Prajusha! That's a nice snack. Why did you use coconut oil for frying?
- prajushaAugust 15, 2007
Hi Jyothsna, Normally I'm used to coconut oil and it tastes different than other vegetable oils out there, but you can always try your favorite oil :-) Thanks!
