🥠Tod Man Khao Pod- Corn Fritters
These corn fritters are a study in texture. A crunchy lattice of thin rice flour batter suspends sweet kernels of corn. A backdrop of herbal flavours from the punchy curry paste makes this entree an unforgettable dish.
Serves: 2
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Execution Time: 10 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 ear of corn, sliced off of the cob
4 raw prawns, diced into 1cm cubes
1 tbsp Kaeng Khiao Wan or Kaeng Daeng
3 tbsp rice flour
1 tbsp beaten egg
¼ tsp of baking powder
1 pinch salt
2pc kaffir lime leaves, julienned
700ml of Vegetable oil for frying
4 6x6cm squares of baking paper
METHOD
Prepare a heavy-bottomed pot with 700ml oil inside as a set-up for deep frying. Line a small sheet tray or plate with a paper towel for frying.
Incorporate all of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl, reserving a few slices of kaffir lime leaf for garnish.
Once the oil temperature reaches 180-190C, divide the batter between 4-5 sheets of baking paper. Using a spoon, gently slide the baking paper into the oil. Use tongs to remove the baking paper from the corn fritter once it has set a little. Remove the fritter from the oil when it is just firm enough to handle without breaking, and allow it to drain on a paper towel for 2-3 minutes.
Fry the fritters for a second time until the batter turns golden brown and becomes crispy, remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle a little salt on top and garnish with the julienned lime leaf.
