Thai Corn Fritters Tod Man Khao Pod Recipes

THAI CORN FRITTERS (TOD MAN KHAO POD)

Steps:

• Start boiling corn on the cob. Alternately, an equivalent amount of frozen corn can be used in step 5 below.
• 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.
• Mix masa harina cornflour, baking powder, and 1/2 tablespoon of salt in a mixing bowl.
• Beat egg separately, then add to the dry mix.
• Fold in egg, curry paste, freshly grated ginger, and lime juice until fully blended.
• Cut boiled corn from the cob and blend into the mixture.
• 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.
• The fritters cook quickly in the pan, so watch for browning on the underside. This can happen in a little as 30 seconds.
• Using a fork, carefully turn over the fritters to brown the other side.
• Place completed fritters on a paper towel to remove excess grease.

THAI SWEETCORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Place half the sweetcorn in a blender and whiz until smooth.
• Scrape into a bowl, add the remaining ingredients and beat until you have a thick batter.
• Heat enough oil in a frying pan for shallow frying.
• Use a teaspoon to put spoonfuls of batter in the oil and fry until golden.
• This will take no more than 30 seconds on each side.
• Drain on paper towel.
• Don't make the fritters too big or they won't cook through.
• Mix the ingredients for the dipping sauce together and serve immediately.
