1 sweet corn on the cob (bhutta/भुट्टा), approx. 1 cup

1 small onion (pyaz/प्याज़), thinly sliced
2-3 cloves of garlic (lehsun/लहसुन), finely chopped
1 tsp grated ginger (adrak/अदरक)
2 green chillies (hari mirchi/हरी मिर्ची), chopped
¼ cup chopped coriander leaves (hara dhaniya/हरा धनिया)
½ cup gram flour (besan/बेसन)
¼ cup rice flour (chawal ka atta/चावल का आटा)
¼ tsp carom seeds (ajwain/अजवाइन)
½ tsp red chilli powder (lal mirch powder/लाल मिर्च पाउडर)
¼ tsp turmeric powder (haldi powder, हल्दी पाउडर)
Salt (namak/नमक), to taste
Pinch of baking soda (meetha soda/मीठा सोडा)
2-3 tsp water (pani/पानी), optional
Fried green chilli, for garnishing
Coriander leaves, for garnishing
A pinch of chaat masala powder (चाट मसाला पाउडर)
Instructions:
Peel the corn and cut it in half. Use a knife to carefully scrape out the kernels.
Drop the corn kernels into boiling water and let them cook for 6-8 minutes.
Once done, strain the water and transfer the cooked corn to a bowl.
Add chopped onion, garlic, ginger, green chilli, and fresh coriander leaves to the bowl with the cooked corn. Mix in gram flour, rice flour, carom seeds, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Combine everything well.
Add a pinch of baking soda and a little water to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until you get a thick, dough-like consistency.
Heat oil in a wok or deep frying pan. When the oil is hot, take small portions of the mixture and gently drop them into the oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the wok. Fry the pakoras until they turn crispy and golden brown.
Once fried, garnish the pakoras with fried green chillies and fresh coriander leaves. Sprinkle a dash of chaat masala on top for extra flavour. Serve the hot and crispy corn pakoras with a side of tomato ketchup.
Tips:
- Use fresh corn with plump kernels for the best flavour.
- Adjust the spice level to your liking.
- Serve hot with a cup of chai or your favourite dipping sauce.
