Quinoa and Corn Fritters


Classic recipe for 'perkedel jagung' (Indonesian corn fritters), with quinoa added for the extra crunch.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (15 1/4 oz) can sweet corn, drained 
  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup water/chicken stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • salt and ground white pepper to taste
  • cooking oil for frying (you should have enough oil to cover at least 2-inches from the bottom of your skillet)
Directions:
  • Heat the cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, egg, water/chicken stock, coriander, salt and pepper. Mix until well blended and reach thick batter consistency (add a little bit more water if necessary). Add corn, quinoa and chopped green onions, mix together with the batter. 
  • Once the oil is hot enough, drop a tablespoon of the corn batter into the oil. Repeat with the remaining batter. Fry until the fritters turn golden brown, remove from the skillet and drain on paper towel.
