Ingredients
For corn fritters:
-
1 cup of all-purpose flour*
-
1 tablespoon curry powder
-
3/4 teaspoon salt
-
3/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
-
1/2 cup vegan liquid JUST Egg
-
1- 12 oz can of corn, drained well (about 2 cups)
-
1/2 cup grated yellow onion, grated with box grater
-
1/4 cup diced green onions
-
2 tablespoons canned diced green chilies
-
3 to 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
-
2 tablespoons oil (for frying) + more as needed
Garlic aioli (lime or lemon)
-
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
-
1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
-
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)
-
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
-
Pinch of salt and cracked black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix the flour, curry powder and salt together. Make a well in the center, add the soy milk and vegan egg. Whisk until smooth.
-
Add in the rest of the ingredients except the oil and stir until completely combined. Set aside the fritter batter to rest while the pan heats up.
-
To a large non-stick pan or griddle add the oil and heat over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, working in batches, carefully drop dollops (about 3 tablespoons) of the corn batter into the pan with a large cookie scoop or 1/4 cup measuring cup. And flatten them into pancake-like patties. Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Turn down the heat at any time if necessary. Transfer fritters to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle each batch with a little salt. Repeat until all the batter is gone, adding more oil in between batches. Makes about 20 fritters.
-
Aioli: mix together ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate until needed.
-
Serve the fritters warm with the garlic aioli. Garnish with chopped cilantro or chives. For step by step photos, tips, FAQ and more see above post.
