crispy corn recipe | crispy fried corn | crispy corn kernels with detailed photo and video recipe. an interesting and popular fried snack recipe made with corn kernels and indo chinese sauces. the recipe was first introduced in the menu of restaurant chain barbeque nation as starter meal. but now it has been accepted by many other restaurant chains and also by several street foods and fast food vendors.
this is my second attempt with crispy corn recipe and i am revisiting as part of my clean up activity. the main reason i am revisiting the recipe is due to the fact that in my previous post the crispy coating was not uniform across the corn kernels. it was inconsistent and i was receiving the complaints from my readers. hence i am re-posting the recipe with a new crispy corn batter. my revisit was mainly towards the flour used as part of the coating. i have used equal proportions of corn and rice flour which makes it ideal for a crispy texture. whereas the plain flour helps to stick it to the corn even after the deep-frying process. typically the main issue while making the crispy corn recipe is non-stickiness of the coating to the kernels during the deep frying. but this recipe post should ideally tackle that issue.
furthermore, i would like to highlight some of the tips, suggestions and variations to crispy corn recipe. firstly, in this recipe, i have used frozen sweet corn kernels which are already deseeded and also thawed. if you like to use fresh sweet corn kernels, you may have to de-seed it first and then boil in water. secondly, you can follow the same step and procedure with baby corn or tender corn shoots. you do not have to deseed them and use it as it is. lastly, the dish is served warm and it may lose its crispiness once it is rested. hence you can deep fry these with the coating and sautee it only when it is about to be served.
