Corn Cutlet: Corn Kabab: Corn Kebabs: a perfect tea-time snack or party starter.
a quick and easy snack made with corn and easily available vegetables.
Corn cutlet as the name indicates this snack is made with sweet corn. Adding vegetables like capsicum, onion, carrot, and beans to this recipe will enhance its taste and also increase its nutritional value. This is a very popular Indian snack or party starter which can either be deep-fried or can be shallow fried. In this blog, I am sharing a detailed recipe with pictures of each step.
Let us discuss the recipe in detail: Crispy Corn Cutlet or Crispy Corn Kababs are great alternatives to other cutlets which include a large amount of potato. You can also add some cottage cheese and cheese to it. I added Capsicum and Onion to it but you can add any other veggies like beans and carrots. The thing which is to keep in mind is that the veggies you are using will not contain much water content.
For the binding I used a combination of rice flour, gram flour, and some bread slices, you can replace it with only gram flour and bread slices. You can give any shape, here I gave Tikki shape and cylindrical shape.
Also, you can deep fry the cutlets. For deep frying, just drop them in medium hot oil and fry on low flame, otherwise, the Tikki will splutter in the oil. I prefer shallow frying. Last but not the least, I used American Corn here which slightly has a sweet taste in it. On the other hand, Indian corns are blank with the taste.
With this much mixture, I prepare 16 cutlets so you adjust the number of ingredients as per the number of people. This amazing snack or starter goes well with tomato ketchup or coriander mint chutney. Serve them at your kitty or birthday parties, your guests will definitely ask for the recipe!
