Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup of fresh Corn Kernels
  • 1 medium-sized potato peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 medium-sized onion finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Coriander Seeds Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ajwain Seeds Carom seeds, crushed by hand
  • A Pinch of Hing / Asafetida
  • 1 tbsp Green Chilli-Ginger-Garlic Paste
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • Salt to taste
  • A handful of coriander leaves with tender stems finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Rice Flour or cornflour
  • 1 Cup Besan / Gram Flour
  • 1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
  • Water as needed
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions
 

  • Take the fresh corn kernels in a bowl. You can lightly pulse them in a chopper if desired, but it's not necessary.
  • Add the finely chopped potatoes. Ensure they are washed and drained well.
  • Add the finely chopped onion.
  • To the vegetable mixture, add coriander powder, hand-crushed cumin seeds, hand-crushed carom seeds, and asafoetida.
  • Add the crushed green chilli, ginger, and garlic paste.
  • Stir in turmeric powder and salt.
  • Add the chopped coriander leaves.
  • Add the rice flour (or cornflour).
  • Add the gram flour (besan).
  • Finally, add a little red chilli powder.
  • First, mix all the ingredients well without water.
  • Then, gradually add a little water at a time, mixing until you get a batter consistency suitable for making pakodas (bhaji). Be careful not to add too much water. The mixture should hold its shape.
  • Heat oil in a pan until it’s very hot.
  • Once the oil is hot, reduce the gas to medium.
  • Carefully drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
  • Let them fry for a bit before turning them.
  • Fry the pakodas on medium heat, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Once golden brown and cooked through, remove the pakodas from the oil and drain any excess oil.
  • The pakodas should be crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
  • Serve hot with sauce and chutney.
