Crispy corn became a very common street food recipe or snack recipe. it is a popular request for a meal starter coming from young and urban audience. These are typically fast, simple to make and, more importantly, in taste, lip-smacking. It can be made with many choices, and the crispy maize recipe, known for its crispiness and taste, is one such common and simple street food snack.

The main thing to keep in mind while making this is the crispy coating. Coating is sometimes not consistent around the corn kernels. It is mostly about the flour used as part of the coating.

I used equal quantities of maize and rice flour, making it suitable for a crispy texture. Also, even after the deep-frying process, the plain flour helps stick it to the maize. Typically, during deep frying, the key problem when making the crispy maize recipe is the non-stickiness of the coating of the kernels. But this recipe post should fix the problem perfectly.

In addition, I would like to highlight some of the crispy corn recipe tips, ideas and variations. First of all, I used frozen sweet corn kernels in this recipe that are already thawed. You will have to de-seed it first and then boil it in water if you like to use fresh sweet corn kernels. Secondly, with baby maize or tender corn shoots, you may follow the same step and procedure. You may use them as they are.

This recipe can be eaten as a snack or as a starter. In this recipe, the important thing you need to remember is to get a thin coating on the sweetcorn,

CRISPY CORN TIPS:

I used sweetcorn that was frozen. You may also use fresh sweet corn.
Frozen is best because no cooking is required, just good thawing or just 1 min microwave.
Before adding flour, rinse the maize well so that it doesn’t get lumpy.
Gently throw the corn into the flour so that it coats in a thin layer.
Shake the excess flour so that the oil does not get too floury.
In very hot oil, fry the corn so it gets very crunchy.
Just add chilli powder and chaat masala powder if you do not have peri peri seasoning.
Instead of lemon juice, you should add vinegar.
Serve immediately for the best taste

You may use a mix of Indian spices instead of adding Peri Peri seasoning.
Chili powder, chaat masala powder, cumin powder and black pepper powder can be used in combination.
You can only use a mixture of cornflour and rice flour to get even more crispy corn.
