Crispy Pepper Corn - A Munching snack

Ingredients: 


American Sweet Corn (golden)- 1 pack

Finely chopped Onions - 1 cup 

Green chilies - 7 to 8 (Slit along the stem)

Curry leaves - 2 sticks

Pepper powder - 2 tbsp

All Purpose flour - 1 cup

Corn flour - 1 cup

Soy sauce

Salt 

Ginger - Garlic Paste (Fresh Preferable)

Oil (Olive or Canola , depends on your usage)

Method:

First Coat for Sweet Corn:

  • Take a mixing bowl .
  • Add 2 tsp of ginger garlic paste, salt according your taste, pepper powder as per your taste (usually 2 tsp is enough, you don't want it to be too peppery! ) and 2 tbsp of all purpose flour to it. 
  • Add some water, and mix it thoroughly(Add only little amount of water, to get the right consistency, you don't want it to be too watery!) to get it to a dosa batter consistency.
  • Now, add the sweet corn to the mixture to get some coating over it. 
  • Keep it soaked in it for few minutes. 

Second Coat for Sweet Corn:

  • Take another mixing bowl.
  • Add 3/4 cup of All purpose flour to 1/4 cup Corn Flour into the bowl.
  • Mix the flours thoroughly.
  • Add the soaked corn to the mixture, and see that you get a right coat. 
Do this just before you transfer the corn for shallow fry. So that coating remains intact until it goes for frying. If you do this way before, the coating is absorbed by the wet corn, thus making it a bad corn for the recipe. 

Shallow Fry the Corn :

  • Heat a skillet filled with oil for a shallow fry. 
  • When the oil is ready , add the corn (after the Second Coat) to it.
  • When you add the corn to the hot oil, there are high chances that the corn splits and pops up onto your face, make sure that you protect yourself from the pops using a lid to cover the skillet partially. 
  • Shallow fry the corn till they turn golden brown.
  • Transfer them to a blotting paper to remove the excess oil.

Gravy:

  • Heat the pan wit a little amount of oil.
  • When the oil is sufficiently heated, add ginger garlic paste to it. 
  • After the paste turns golden color, add the chopped onions, green chilies, curry leaves to it. 
  • Keep mixing the contents until they all are thoroughly fried 
  • Add a little amount of soy sauce, salt to it and let it fry again.
  • Now add the shallow fried corn to it. 
  • Let it be on stove for a while by mixing them. 


Switch of the stove! The crispy pepper corn is now ready to serve! This recipe is a nice munching snack for vegans!
