Baby Corn Fritters, baby corn pakodas(bajji), How to prepare baby corn fritters for starters

Baby corn fritters are very tasty and easily prepared starter/ snack recipe, which is loved by all age people.  I was searching for sweet corn in Wednesday market @Jolarpettai. Then I saw bunch of fresh baby corns, I was bit confused in preparing batter. Then  Sangeeta Sethi di, #VegFoodies fb group friend helped me in preparing batter  for this fritters. It came our very tasty and crispy. Thanks alot di for helping😍.  We can have this fritters with  Green chutney or with tomato sauce/ ketchup. Prepare this healthy snack for your kids in this summer they will enjoy it. Point to remember is if you prepare fritters like bajji's(By dipping in thick batter) it won't stay crisp for long time. 



  Using maida in preparing batter will keep fritters crispy for long time. Instead of maida I used gram flour, rice flour and corn flour in 3:2:1 and fried in low to medium flame. I like the crunchy taste of baby corn when fried so I did not boiled it.

Tips

** Do not cook rice too smooth. 

** As cashew nuts fry fastly we fry it first and keep it aside. 

** we can also fry ground nut separately or use already fried ground nuts. But freshly fried ground nuts tastes good. 

** You can also fry grated mango separately and add it into tempering, but frying it along with tempering will taste good, green chilli will absorb raw mango sourness and tastes great while eating. (Which most of us love to have it 😋). 

** Do not add fried raw mango gojju into rice at a time, it may taste more sour and tangy. So add small amount and then adjust.
