Instructions

Make the corn batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the corn with cornstarch until evenly coated.
  2. Add fish sauce, finely sliced kaffir lime leaves, red curry paste, and the egg. Mix well until everything is combined.
  3. Gradually pour in ice-cold water, stirring continuously until a thick, well-mixed batter forms.

Deep-fry

  1. Scoop up a spoonful of the corn batter.
  2. Gently drop it into hot oil in a deep pan, letting it slide off the spoon.
  3. Rinse your spoon with water after each scoop to prevent sticking.
  4. Fry until golden and crispy, flipping occasionally for even cooking.
  5. Drain on a colander or paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • For kids: Use half the amount of red chili paste.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the batter in advance and keep it in the fridge. Fry when ready.
  • Size matters: Smaller fritters cook faster, crisp up better, and get that perfect crunchy-fluffy balance.
  • Crispy tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan for the crispiest results.
