Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• Vegetable oil for frying

FOR THE AVOCADO CREAM

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine corn kernels, flour, cornmeal, eggs, milk, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and green onions. Mix until well combined.
2. Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
3. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the corn mixture into the hot oil for each fritter. Flatten lightly with a spatula.
4. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. In a blender or food processor, combine avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and salt. Blend until creamy and smooth.
6. Serve the fritters warm with the avocado cream on the side, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.

For a milder version, reduce the amount of chili powder or omit it altogether. You can also add fresh herbs like cilantro or chives to enhance the flavor further.

These fritters are best served immediately while they’re hot and crispy. If you need to reheat leftovers, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to regain their crunch.
