Spiced Fried Corn ( Bakwan Jagung )


Crispy Corn Meatballs or Bakwan Jagung/Dadar Jagung is very simple side dish. Besides as a side dish with other meal, you can also enjoy Bakwan Jagung as a snack.

Category : Sidedish

Difficulty : Easy

Cooking time : 15 – 30 minutes

Ingredients
- 150 gram canned corn
- 1 egg
- 50 gram plain flour
- 1 stalk of celery
- 1 stalk of spring onion


Spice Paste
- 3 shallots
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 red chillies
- 2 bird's eyes chillies (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of coriander
- 1 cm Kaempferia galanga L (kencur) - optional
- 1 kaffir lime leaf
- salt and sugar to taste

Directions
1. Blend or grind all the ingredients for spice paste. Then add the corn, and continue blending (grinding). I like to grind the corn roughly, not so smooth.
2. Put the mixture into a bowl, and then add the flour, celery, spring onion and egg. Mix it well.
3. Heat the oil in deep wok, and fry 1 tablespoon of mixture until slightly brown.

Tips : you can add some fresh small prawn into the mixture to give it more flavour.
