Corn Patties
Ingredients
1/3 cup besan
1/4 cup rice flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Handful of cilantro, finely chopped
1/3 cup water
2 cups grilled corn
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Method
In a large bowl whisk together besan, rice flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Add water and mix together with a spoon until thick. Add the grilled corn and mix well with the flour mixture until all the kernels are well-coated.
Heat up a skillet over medium high heat and add some vegetable oil to the pan.
Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop corn mixture out and place into the skillet, gently pressing the mound down so it's flattened. Cook for 5 minutes on one side, or until it's browned, flip, and cook another 5 minutes, or until it's browned. Remove and repeat for all the other corn fritters.
Serve immediately.
