Ingredients
- corn1.5 cups
- flour80 g
- onion1
- coriander2 tbsp
- green chili1
Method
Mash the corn
Lightly crush about half the corn with a masher and leave the rest whole. The crushed kernels release a starchy paste that binds the fritters together, while the whole ones keep a sweet pop of texture in every bite.
Make the mix
Combine the corn with the flour, chopped onion, coriander, green chili and a pinch of salt into a thick mixture. If it feels too loose add a little more flour, because a firm mix holds its shape and will not spread flat in the basket.
Shape the fritters
Press the mix into small, flat patties and brush each side with a little oil. Keeping them thin and even lets the middle cook through by the time the outside crisps, and the oil helps them brown into a golden crust.
Air fry
Arrange the patties in a single layer and air-fry at 185°C for 15 min until they are firm inside and golden and crisp outside. The single layer lets the hot air reach every side, so turn them once partway for an even colour.
