Step by Step Pictures
Coating Sweet Corn
1)Take sweetcorn in a bowl. This is frozen sweetcorn, so i just microwaved it for 1 min. Strain the water completely. Take it in a bowl.
2)Season the corn with salt and black pepper powder. Toss to combine.
3)Add in the flour mixture, I used cornstarch, all purpose flour and rice flour. This combo makes the corn super crispy once fried.
4)Toss the corn with this flour mixture. You can shake the bowl gently so the corn coats with the flour.
5)Now to remove excess flour, take the corn in a sieve. Shake it gently to remove any excess dry flour.
6)Shake it so the excess flour gets away and the flour is evenly coated on the corn.
7)Now you can see the corn has a light coating of flour.
Frying Corn
8)Heat oil for deep frying. Drop the coated corn in super hot oil.
9)Once corn is added into the oil, don't try to mix it. If you mix it, the coating may crumble in the oil. Let it fry on high heat for 1 minute or so.
IMP - Be careful when frying corn, it may burst sometime.
10)Once 1 minute is up, the bubbles would have subsided. This is the time you have to mix the corn gently.
11)Let it fry until most of the bubbles is subsided. It should get crispy and golden brown. Mix gently often.
12)Now the corn looks super crispy and fried. Strain it using a slotted spoon.
Seasoning Crispy Corn
13)Take the fried corn on a paper towel. Remove excess oil from it. Take the corn in a sieve.
14)Sprinkle top with peri peri seasoning. Instead of this, you can use any seasoning that you like.
15)Add finely chopped onions, green chillies and coriander leaves.
16)Squeeze little lemon juice and coat well.
17)Crispy corn is ready to enjoy.
18)Crispy corn loses its crispy texture as it sits. So enjoy them immediately as it is made.
Expert Tips
- I used frozen sweetcorn. You can use fresh sweetcorn as well. Frozen is best since it don't need any cooking, just thawing is good or just microwave for 1 min.
- Drain any excess moisture from the corn well before adding flour so it don't get lumpy.
- Toss the corn gently in flour so it coats in a thin layer. Shake excess flour so the oil don't gets too floury.
- Fry the corn in very hot oil so it gets very crunchy.
- If you don't have peri peri seasoning, just add chilli powder and chaat masala powder.
- You can add vinegar instead of lemon juice.
