2 Anaheim or poblano chiles
1 jalapeno or habanero chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced, or 1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
3 cups fresh corn kernels, from 5 or 6 ears
1 egg
1/2 cup flour, or a little more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Salt and black pepper to taste
Corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil for deep-frying

1
Roast the whole chiles in a dry skillet, the broiler, or over a grill (page 470), until lightly charred all over.
2
Cool, then peel, stem, and seed.
3
Combine the mild chiles in a food processor with the hot chile and 2 cups of the corn; process until quite smooth, about 1 minute, stopping the machine to scrape down the sides if necessary.
4
Combine the puree with the whole corn kernels, egg, flour, spices, cilantro, and some salt and pepper.
5
The mixture should hold together when you clump it; if it does not, add a little more flour.
6
Put at least 2 inches of oil in a deep saucepan or skillet and heat over medium-high heat to 350F or until a pinch of flour sizzles.
7
Use a spoon or your hands to form the batter into golf ballsized or smaller fritters; gently slide them into the oil and fry until golden brown, turning once, about 4 minutes.
8
Serve immediately.
