  1. 1

    To begin preparing the Spicy Sweet Corn & Oat Fritters Recipe, get all the ingredients under the section “To grind”

    sweet corn - (frozen or canned)(2 cups)
  2. 2

    Add it to a mixer and grind to make a coarse mixture of the corn, green chillies, ginger and cumin seeds

  3. 3

    Transfer the ground mixture into a large mixing bowl

  4. 4

    Add the remaining ingredients into the bowl along with ground sweet corn mixture

    sweet corn - (frozen or canned)(2 cups)
  5. 5

    Combine all of it well and get a thick consistency to make the vada

  6. 6

    Check the salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste

    salt - to taste
  7. 7

    Note: add the powdered oats little by little, until you get the required consistency

    instant oats (oatmeal) - powdered in a blender(1 cup)
  8. 8

    The mixture should be fairly thick so that it holds well when fritters are formed

  9. 9

    At this stage the consistency is critical

  10. 10

    If not thick enough, the fritters will absorb too much oil while deep-frying

    sunflower oil - for deep-frying (if not baking)
  11. 11

    If you feel the mixture is not thick enough, you can add a tablespoon of rice flour or chickpea flour (besan) to bind it

    rice flour - to be used only if required)(1 tablespoon)
  12. 12

    Method to Deep fry The Sweet Corn VadasTo form the fritters or vadas, take a tablespoon of the mixture at a time, about the size of a small lemon

  13. 13

    Flatten it on wet palm to make a patty or fritter and place it on a platter or plate

  14. 14

    Repeat, until all the mixture is used

    rice flour - to be used only if required)(1 tablespoon)
  15. 15

    You can refrigerate the vadas for 15 minutes

  16. 16

    This allows them to dry out and firm up a little before deep-frying

    sunflower oil - for deep-frying (if not baking)
  17. 17

    This is an optional step, and if your mixture is firm enough the vadas may be fried directly without refrigeration

  18. 18

    Heat oil for deep frying, in a kadhai, over a high heat

  19. 19

    When hot enough, reduce the heat and slowly slide the patties into the oil

  23. 23

    Spread a baking sheet or parchment paper on the baking tray

    Lightly grease your palms with oil so as to handle the mixture more easily and shape the fritters
