- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (raw – from 2 cobs, canned or frozen also fine)
- 1/2 cup parmesan (finely grated)
- 3/4 cup green onions (sliced)
- 1/2 cup coriander/cilantro (roughly chopped; can substitute with more green onion)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil For frying

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 120°C / 250°F and set a wire rack on a baking tray.
- In a bowl, combine flour, cornflour, and baking soda.
- Stir in the egg and milk until mixed, note that the batter will be lumpy and thick.
- Add corn, parmesan, green onions, and coriander, ensuring all corn is evenly coated.
Cooking
- Pour enough oil into a skillet to cover the base and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Spray the underside of a spatula with oil to prevent sticking. Place 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and flatten to about 1 cm thick. Repeat without crowding the skillet.
- Fry the fritters for about 3 minutes until deep golden and crisp, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer fritters to the wire rack and keep them warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
Serving
- Serve the fritters warm with your choice of sauces for dipping.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for better batter consistency. Don't overcrowd the skillet to ensure even cooking. Experiment with spices or cheese for added flavor.
