Thai Corn Fritters (Tod Man Khao Pod)

1. 1

   Start boiling corn on the cob. Alternately, an equivalent amount of frozen corn can be used in step 5 below.

2. 2

   Start heating oil in a small cooking pot with the burner set to medium. NOTE: a smaller pot will allow less oil to be used to permit coverage of the fritters. Alternately, other cooking oils can be used.

3. 3

   Mix masa harina cornflour, baking powder, and 1/2 tablespoon of salt in a mixing bowl.

4. 4

   Beat egg separately, then add to the dry mix.

5. 5

   Fold in egg, curry paste, freshly grated ginger, and lime juice until fully blended.

6. 6

   Cut boiled corn from the cob and blend into the mixture.

7. 7

   Using a tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of mixture into the oil. Avoid dropping the spoonfuls of mixture to prevent oil spatter. Ideally, a cookie scoop can be used to create uniform fritters.

8. 8

   The fritters cook quickly in the pan, so watch for browning on the underside. This can happen in a little as 30 seconds.

9. 9

   Using a fork, carefully turn over the fritters to brown the other side.

10. 10

    Place completed fritters on a paper towel to remove excess grease.
