Bakwan Jagung (Corn Fritters)


Another Indonesian favourite, Bakwan Jagung (Corn Fritters). The question that you ought to ask yourself is... How many is too many? Believe me when I make these crunchy babies, often there is no leftover! And it's super easy to make!

Ingredients
3 cups of corn
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/4 cups of rice flour
4 tbsp. all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 red onion, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 stacks of celery, chopped
3 green onions, chopped
4 red chillies, chopped (optional, only if you like it spicy)
Canola/peanut oil to fry

Directions
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.

In a large heavy bottomed sauced pan,  pour enough oil to fill the pan about half way. Heat over medium heat until a deep frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 360F.

Drop 2 tbsp. of the fritter batter into the hot oil. Work in batches and do not overcrowd the pan. The pieces should not touch each other while frying.
Turn the pieces as they brown.

When both sides are golden brown, transfer the fritters into a cookie sheet pan covered with paper towels to drain the excess oil.

Enjoy while it's hot!

So, next time you are enjoying some hockey or football game! Try something Indonesian, and surprise your friends!
