- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped sweet onion
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups fresh corn kernels, roughly mashed
- 1 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup white rice flour
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup chopped raw shrimp (optional)
- 3 tablespoons thinly sliced red chile pepper (optional)
- 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
- Combine the onion, garlic, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, and sweetened condensed milk in the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse 4 to 5 times, until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
- Scoop the spice paste into a large bowl, and stir in the corn, chives, peas, rice flour, all-purpose flour, egg, water, shrimp, and red chile pepper. Mix together to form a thick batter.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Drop batter about 1/4 cup at a time into the hot oil, and fry 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the fritters from the hot oil, and drain on paper towels.
