    Diwali calls for celebrations, parties and much needed downtime which allows us to rejuvenate, absorb the positivity of the festivities and restart our work with all the batteries charged, right?

    But most importantly, what matters is FOOD.

    Be it luscious desserts or platter full of munchies or bowls of sweets, one cannot cherish the vibe of Diwali without something delicious to eat.

    Apart from the usual Diwali dishes that I make every year, this time, we had arranged a small BBQ party a few days before Diwali night.

    Along with Murgh Tikka, we even served Cajun Potatoes with Chilli Mayonnaise Dip to our guests but most of all BBQ Nation Style Crispy Corn Recipe made everyone feel elated and stole the show at the snacks table.

    And everyone loved it so much, that most of them started asking me about its recipe and they were quite shocked to listen how easy this delicious snack is to make.

    Perfectly coated with maida, rice flour and corn flour, Crispy Fried Corn are pretty delicious and super easy to make.

    You can also try some of the other snacks that I made with Corn – Corn Cheese Balls, Corn Chaat, Corn Pakoda.

    About this recipe

    It is a simple snack where corn is coated with maida, rice flour, corn flour, salt and black pepper powder mixture and then deep fried until it changes its colour to golden brown and becomes crispy. 

    Once it is fried, they are cooked along with garlic, green chillies, onion, coriander leaves, white pepper powder, salt, vinegar, soy sauce and red chilli paste.

    The delicious fried corns get a makeover after mixing with these ingredients. 

    Also add in some finely chopped onions on the top, before serving, it tastes great with the crispy corns.

    Almost a year back, for our usual family dinner, we had been to BBQ Nation, which is a popular BBQ food chain in India.

    While I loved all the starters, I fell head over heels for their Crispy Corn.

    Crispy and crunchy, I just couldn’t stop myself from eating these delicious corn delights.

    I was so hooked to this starter, that I started looking at what all ingredients has gone into this recipe and made my own version over the weekend which turned out to be very close to the one I had in the restaurant.

    Along with the crispiness, what elevates this recipe is its subtle taste which it derives from black pepper powder and salt.

    And the best part, it is super easy to make and even my kiddo loves munching on them. 

    Ingredients

    Corn Kernels – You can either use the fresh corn kernels or the frozen ones. The frozen ones will take a little more time to cook than the fresh ones.

    To coat the Corn – Corn is coated with a mixture of cornflour, all purpose flour, rice flour, salt and black pepper powder. This mixture adds a crispy coating on the corn, when it is deep fried.

    Oil – You can use any vegetable oil of your choice to deep fry the corn.

    For the Sauce – The crispy deep fried corns are then coated with a spicy sauce which requires ingredients such as garlic, green chillies, onion, coriander leaves, salt, white pepper powder, soy sauce, vinegar and red chilli paste.

    You can always adjust the amount of green chillies and red chilli paste, to suit your taste buds,

    The ingredients in the sauce all together adds a nice spicy tangy flavour to the crispy corn that makes them even more delicious.

    How to make Crispy Corn?

    Heat water in a large pan.

    Add little water in the corn if it’s too dry. The cornflour maida mixture should coat the corn but the mixture should not be lump. This step is very important so be very vigilant.

    Pro Tips by Neha

    I have used frozen corn kernels to make this recipe but you can definitely use fresh kernels.

    When using frozen corn, just thaw them until they are soft. if there is water in them, dab with a kitchen towel and then use them in the recipe.

    I like to cook the kernels a bit so that they are nicely softened.

    Make sure there is very less moisture in your corn kernels.

    This step is very important because if there is moisture in the corn, they will stick together and will not come out crispy.

    Make sure to cover the pan with lid after adding the corn in the oil.

    The kernels might burst splattering oil all over.

    You can also add a bit of soy sauce instead of water in the mixture to make it even more flavourful.
