on Jul 08, 2019, Updated Aug 23, 2020 Lets get close and personal with these Mexican Corn Fritters today. They are not perfectly shaped, most of mine have jagged edges which actually become extra crispy and will be your favorite part. There will also be bits of deep fried corn left over in the pan that you will fight over. And that’s my case for making these Mexican Corn Fritters super fast. I don’t say it often enough but I love anything fried and crispy though I try to resist it but then I give in, like every five days. Which is why you’ll see many many crispy snacks on this site. Here are some of my favorites.

Let’s talk about how incredibly easy these are, and how you don’t need to scared of frying stuff anymore. These fritters have a few simple ingredients. I always like to use Besan or chickpea flour for my fritters instead of All Purpose Flour because its healthier. These mexican corn fritters are flavored with chilli powder or paprika, jalapenos and lots of coriander/ cilantro for that spicy herb flavor that really balances out the sweetness from the corn. And while we make them on repeat when corn is in season, you can really make them all year round with frozen corn kernels. If you are using canned corn though, I would recommend draining the corn completely and washing it under running water to get rid of any extra moisture and liquid before adding it to the batter to get the consistency of the batter right. Don’t forget that dip. Its only got five ingredients and takes about two extra minutes to make and is so worth it! I even like serving these Mexican Corn Fritters for dinner once in a while, sandwiched between slices of bread (anybody else does that?), or with a large salad on the side. It makes boring weeknights shine!
