FAQs

What is Corn Pakora, and how is it different from regular pakoras?

Corn pakora is a crispy, golden, and utterly addictive snack made by combining sweet corn kernels with gram flour, spices, and herbs, then deep-frying them into bite-sized perfection. Unlike regular pakoras that might use sliced vegetables or paneer, corn pakoras are unique for their juicy bursts of sweet corn in every bite, offering a delightful contrast to the crunchy coating. It's a snack that screams fun and flavor!

How do I make corn pakora at home?

Making corn pakoras is super easy! Start by mixing boiled or fresh sweet corn with gram flour (besan), rice flour (for extra crunch), finely chopped onions, green chilies, ginger, and your favorite spices like cumin, coriander, and red chili powder. Add a splash of water to create a thick batter. Drop spoonfuls into hot oil and fry until they're crispy and golden brown. Serve them hot with mint chutney or ketchup for that ultimate tea-time snack vibe.

How to make corn pakora healthier?

You can air-fry or bake the pakoras instead of deep-frying for a healthier twist. You can also experiment with add-ins like grated cheese, chopped spinach, or even a pinch of chaat masala for extra zing. If you're feeling adventurous, try using spiced corn flour instead of regular gram flour to amplify the corn flavor. Perfect for those who like to keep it interesting!
