1. Prepare the Corn:
- If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it well. If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob.
2. Make the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, mixing until you get a smooth batter.
3. Coat the Corn:
- Add the corn kernels to the batter and mix until they are well coated.
4. Heat the Oil:
- In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. You'll need enough oil to submerge the corn.
5. Fry the Corn:
- Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to remove the corn and drain on paper towels.
6. Serve:
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired and serve with lime wedges.
For additional flavours:
- In a Separate Pan
- Add oil, chopped garlic, onion, and fresh chilies in the separate pan.
- Toss it for another minute and add capsicum toss for a minute to maintain the crunch.
- Add the fried corn kernels and garnish with more spring onion and a squeeze of lemon
