    Bangalore has been on mood of getting chilly and wet all by rains past 3 weeks. Weather is so gloomy dull and breezy. This has made me sipping atleast 4-5 cups of hot ginger tea in a day.

    Wintery evenings makes me crave for some hot crisp pakoda with chai all the time.  That's when I start whipping up something quick and easy.

    And, as my daughter loves both the things, sweet corn and paneer. This corn pakoda has become her all time favorite too.

    Oh man! She is a big chatori just like her mother. Yes, yes that's how I am, the big chatori :D!

    So we both love to eat these paneer corn pakodas with green chutney and some masala chai. Our evenings are always so much a fun. Because, we both are alike!

    Sweet Corn Pakoda

    We also call it as makai pakodas. Pakodas are nothing but an Indian style spicy fritters.

    And we Indian make it very often at home for snacks. Mostly, we make it during winters, monsoons and Ramadan.

    It is an extremely easy, crisp and spicy snack to be made in a matter of just few minutes. All we need to do it mix coarse paste of corn, paneer cubes, onion, chilies, gram flour and seasonings.

    I have used frozen corn kernels here in this recipe. Let the corn come at room temperature.

    Then, pat dry it to remove all the extra water from it. And then, grind it to a coarse paste.

    You can adjust the amount spices and chilies  the way you like it.  Do not forget to serve it chutney or ketchup and some hot masala chai on side.

    These sweet corn pakoda makes a perfect snack for breakfast or for evening tea. It also makes great appetiser for any festive occasion or parties.

    Instructions

    • Grind corn to a coarse paste without adding any water. This can also be done in a chopper. 2-3 times pulse to coarse the corn is good to go.
    • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except oil, mix well. The mixture should be like a dough.
    • Only if the mixture is too dry, then add 1-2 spoons of water only.
    • Heat enough oil in deep bottom pan.
    • Once the oil is hot, make a small blob of a mixture and gently slide it in to hot oil.
    • Fry on medium high heat until golden brown and crisp.
    • Take them out on absorbent kitchen towel. Repeat the same for the remaining mixture.
    • Serve them hot and crisp with green coriander-mint chutney or ketchup.

    Notes

    You can skip the paneer from the recipe, if you wish too.
    if you do not have the access to rice flour, then replace it with cornflour.
    Modify the spices and chilies as per your liking.
    Only if the mixture is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to make the pakoda mixture.
    And if the mixture is too runny, then add few spoons of  besan or chicken pea flour more to the mixture.
    If you are using corn corn, then boil it until tender and then scrape the corn kernels and use. 
    If you are using frozen corn kernels then thaw and rinse them well. Pat dry to make sure there is no moisture left.
