Corn Pakoras a delicious deep fried Indian snack! Corn is known as Bhutta in India, fritters known as pakoras here. Mostly people love here to eat pakoras in monsoon. But a person like me can have them anytime or any season. This recipe credit goes to my mother. I would love to eat moms food any day I am sure you also would  love to 🙂
The main hero of the dish is sweet corn. Also made with ingredients easily found in your kitchen. Corn Pakoras could be made quickly and no prior preparation required. So if you craving for a deep fried snack you know now what to make??
We both love any kind of deep fried snack. Though I try to make deep fried stuff only once a week. Sometimes it also happens thrice a week 😉 ….. If you exercise then it’s okay to eat fatty food sometimes.
You could also stuff these pakoras in burgers with some cheese, mayo, lettuce. That would taste and look like pakora pav. Try out some food tastes great when explored and experimented. If you wanna try other kind of corn pakoras check the recipe here.
