Ingredients
- 1.5 cups sweet corn
- 1.5 tbsp. cornstarch or cornflour
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. pepper
- ½ tsp. chilli powder or paprika
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. oil
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 tbsp. cilantro chopped
- chaat masala optional
Directions
- If using frozen corn, immerse in hot water for about 5 minutes. Drain and use.
- Assemble together the spices, salt and cornstarch along with lemon juice and oil.
- I add the spices and salt first and mix with the corn. Then I add cornstarch and mix well to coat.
- Finally add lemon juice and oil and mix well further.
- Preheat air fryer at 360F or 180C for 5 minutes.
- Lay the marinated sweet corn in one layer and air fry for about 10-12 minutes at 180C or 360F till crunchy. Shake the basket 2-3 times during cooking.
- Keep an eye after 10 minutes as the corn can go really very crispy and close to burnt very quickly.
- Heat oil in a wok or pan till it is medium hot. Carefully fry the marinated corn pellets for about 1-2 minutes till crispy and done.
- Take out and serve hot after garnishing.
- Take out the crispy corn and toss with some more lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Also add if you some chopped onion and cilantro. Mix well and serve hot. Those in India would love this as Barbeque Nation style crispy corn.
- For the Indian touch, garnish with chaat masala, salt, chopped onion, chopped cilantro and some finely chopped chilli.
