Golden Corn Fritters with Spicy Mango Salsa and Lime Yogurt

Ingredients

• •1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• •1 cup all-purpose flour
• •1/2 cup milk
• •1 large egg
• •1/4 cup chopped green onions
• •1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• •1/4 teaspoon paprika
• •Salt to taste
• •Pepper to taste
• •Vegetable oil for frying
• •1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
• •1 small red chili, finely chopped
• •2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• •Juice of 1 lime (for salsa)
• •1/2 cup plain yogurt
• •Juice of 1 lime (for yogurt)
• •Pinch of salt (for yogurt)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until smooth. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to form a batter. Be careful not to overmix.

3. 3

   Fold in the corn kernels and chopped green onions, ensuring they are evenly incorporated into the batter.

4. 4

   Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of batter into the skillet, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon to create fritters.

5. 5

   Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

6. 6

   To make the mango salsa, combine the diced mango, finely chopped red chili, fresh cilantro, and lime juice in a small bowl. Stir gently and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

7. 7

   For the lime yogurt, whisk together the plain yogurt, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until smooth and creamy.

8. 8

   Serve the golden corn fritters warm, accompanied by the spicy mango salsa and lime yogurt on the side. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
