Basil Jalapeno Corn Fritters are a unique and flavorful twist on traditional corn fritters. They combine the sweetness of corn with the spicy kick of jalapeno and the aromatic freshness of basil. This recipe is perfect for a quick snack or a delightful appetizer that will impress your guests with its vibrant taste and texture.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sweet corn, 1 finely chopped jalapeño pepper, and 1 cup of chopped basil leaves.
- Add a dash of salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Mix well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of white rice flour, 4 tbsp of cornmeal, and 1 tsp of baking powder.
- Add this mixture to the corn mixture and stir to combine.
- Gradually stir in 1/2 cup of dried milk to the corn and flour mixture until everything is well incorporated. The batter should be thick but not too dry; if it's too thick, you can add a small amount of water or more dried milk to achieve the desired consistency.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 1 cup of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).
- Using a tablespoon or a small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Fry the fritters in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once the fritters are cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the Basil Jalapeño Corn Fritters hot, garnished with additional basil leaves if desired. They make a great appetizer or side dish.
Tips:
- Use fresh corn for the best flavor, but if it's not available, frozen corn can be used. Just make sure to thaw and drain it well.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeno to your spice preference. Removing the seeds will reduce the heat if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Chop the basil leaves finely to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- If the batter is too thick, add a small amount of water or milk to reach the desired consistency.
- Heat the oil to the right temperature (around 350°F or 175°C) to ensure the fritters are crispy on the outside but cooked through on the inside.
- Drain the fritters on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil after frying.
Basil Jalapeno Corn Fritters offer a refreshing and spicy treat that can be enjoyed by many. These fritters are best served hot and crispy, making them an ideal snack for any gathering. The combination of sweet corn, spicy jalapeno, and fragrant basil creates a delightful flavor profile that you will want to make again and again.
