What would be your dream diet ? You know, the diet where you could actually eat whatever you wanted , and as much as you wanted?
If you asked me for dinner tonight, I would have to say, spicy corn fritters .
Yes, the corn fritter diet. (Haven't heard of it?)
One bite of freshly made fritters made with farm- fresh corn , dipped in sweet chili sauce, and nothing else seems even vaguely appealing.
Method
1. Prepare the dipping sauce:
Combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan . Cook over medium heat , stirring with a wooden spoon , until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high, and boil for about 5 to 10 minutes, until mixture becomes slightly syrupy.
Remove from heat and let cool. The sauce should continue to thicken as it cools. If it gets too thick, you can add a little water to thin it out slightly.
2. Prepare the corn fritter batter:
Combine flour , baking powder , salt , ground coriander and ground cumin in a medium bowl . Add egg, lemon juice and water. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture is smooth.
Add corn , green onions and cilantro . Stir until just combined.
3. Fry the corn fritters:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. When the oil is hot (shimmering but not smoking), spoon about 2 heaping tablespoons of batter into the skillet to form a doughnut, flattening it with the back of the spoon as it hits the pan. Work in batches. Leave about 1/2 inch between doughnuts in the skillet.
Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, turning the donuts when they are golden brown on one side. Once golden brown on the other side, remove the donuts and place them on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb the excess fat.
Add oil as needed to keep the bottom of the pan well coated. Note that the donuts may splatter a bit while cooking, so use a splatter screen or wear long-sleeved clothing while cooking.
Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
